5.0 out of 5 stars
great discusion of the image and self.
Robert gordons book shows how people in love with the idea of how the bushmen should behave really have no idea of how they actually behave.

Not for the layperson
I'm not an anthropologist, and I have to think this book is better aimed at that audience than laypeople. I read the book during a trip to Namibia this month. I found it informative in terms of history of the bushmen, but I thought there were some holes in the author's logic. He also seemed to be pretty critical of the Herero tribe. I didn't walk away with any conclusion...

I found it informative in terms of history of the bushmen, but I thought there were some holes in the author's logic. He also seemed to be pretty critical of the Herero tribe. I didn't walk away with any conclusion from the author, other than the fact that common assumptions about Bushmen over time have been erroneous. Better reading for the layperson prior to a Namibia trip would be Colin Leys "Histories of Namibia" and his "Namibia's Liberation Struggle", best read in that order (though those books don't highlight bushmen).
