San Spirituality : Roots, Expression, and Social Consequences Hardback
by David J. Lewis-Williams, D. G. Pearce
Part of the African Archaeology Series series
Hardback
Description
At the intersection between western culture and Africa, we find the San people of the Kalahari desert.
Once called Bushmen, the San have survived many characterizations-from pre-human animals by the early European colonials, to aboriginal conservationists in perfect harmony with nature by recent New Age adherents.
Neither caricature does justice to the complex world view of the San.
Eminent anthropologists David Lewis-Williams and David Pearce present a instead balanced view of the spiritual life of this much-studied people, examining the interplay of their cosmology, myth, ritual, and art.
