Hunters and Herders of Southern Africa:

A Comparative Ethnography of the Khoisan Peoples
Front Cover
0 Reviews
Cambridge University Press, Feb 28, 1992 - Social Science - 349 pages
The Khoisan are a cluster of southern African peoples, including the famous Bushmen or San "hunters," the Khoekhoe "herders" (in the past called "Hottentots"), and the Damara, also a herding people. Most Khoisan live in the Kalihari desert and surrounding areas of Botswana and Namibia. Despite differences in their ways of life, the various groups have much in common, and this book explores these similarities and the influence of environment on their culture and social organization. This is the first book on the Khoisan as a whole to be published since the 1930s.
