A detailed study of the Khoisan, the cluster of southern African peoples which include the Bushmen, the Khoekho and the Damara.
The Khoisan are a cluster of southern African peoples which include the famous Bushmen, or San, ''hunters'', the Khoekhoe ''herders'' (in the past called ''Hottentots''), and the Damara, also a herding people. The present-day Khoisan include hunter-gatherers, pastoralists, and wage labourers. In spite of differences associated with their economic pursuits, as well as differences in language and other aspects of culture, the Khoisan peoples share features of territorial organization, gender relations, kinship, ritual, and cosmology. These represent elements of structures held in common across economic, cultural, linguistic, and ''racial'' boundaries. This book focuses on these structures and the diverse forms which they take within Khoisan culture and society. It is written within the framework of regional structural comparison.
