This classic, bestselling study of the !Kung San, foragers of the Dobe area of the Kalahari Desert describes a people's reactions to the forces of modernization, detailing relatively recent changes to !Kung rituals, beliefs, social structure, marriage and kinship system. It documents their determination to take hold of their own destiny-despite exploitation of their habitat and relentless development-to assert their political rights and revitalize their communities.

An examination of the Dobe Ju'Hoansi (speakers of a click language in the once prominant Khoisian family -- the subjects of the film "The God's Must Be Crazy") by an anthropologist. He found that these people really did not represent, as he had imagined, a slice of how humanity might have lived eons ago. These modern hunter-gatherers, however, had very interesting cultural attributes that set them apart from so-called modern society. They had little jealousy and a remarkably altruistic gift giving model. They had ornate notions of family and naming. They lived longer than the west expected and had happier lives, based on the number of hours they had to toil and their longevity. And they lost all aspects the benefits of their culture when modern african governments gave them "assistance". ( )

I read this ages ago, but I didn't want to review it, because I've not read any other anthropological field-report type works. But, what the hell. I learned from it; I'll say that. It sounds like an interesting people, living in an interesting little corner of the globe. But I never bonded with the researcher, or how he wrote. He certainly had some of the needed sympathy for his subjects, but not enough, really. He seemed slightly caught up in how advanced he was as a Canadian, or as a graduate of some Toronto university, or whatever. To be honest, it sounds like he basically acted like a sort of visiting dignitary...and this in a society blessedly free of visiting dignitaries.
