Review: Keyan G Tomaselli. Where Global Contradictions are Sharpest: Research Stories from the Kalahari

Abstract

Writing in 2001 on “African hunter-gatherers: survival, history, and the
politics of identity” Lee and Hitchcock came to the following conclusion:
Cultural diversity old and new represented by the hunting and gathering
peoples of Africa is part of the heritage of all humanity. It is important
that members of these societies themselves be drawn into the task of
valorizing and preserving their own cultural heritage. Ultimately it is
they who will carry forward this work. (2001:280)
