Opis

This book is an anthropological case study of the little-known "Bushman" of Northern Namibia. They are still a gathering people, not only living on mangetti (nuts) and other wild foods but also on the by-products of the cattle industry on the mangetti farms. Through direct interaction during long-term field research, this book vividly conveys the conditions in which the "Bushman" actually live today.

Recenzje

Living on Mangetti is an ethnographic monograph that subtly escapes the alleged pitfalls of general ethnographic description without giving in on analytical generalizations ... it demonstrates very clearly that anthropological monographs have something to offer which history, political economy, or social geography cannot provide.
