Wilmsen marshals an enormous quantity of historical, archival, archeological, ethnographic, and survey data on the Kalahari Zhu to show how far from the reality these images are, how they have their own historical provenance, how they have been analytically distorting, and how they have proven politically pernicious for living groups like the Zhu.\"--Pauline Peters, \u003ci\u003eScience\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"[A] major work. . . . Anthropologists will, and should, use Wilmsen's meticulously detailed study to revise their early lectures in the introductory course, and no future study of African 'foragers' should ignore it.\"--Parker Shipton, \u003ci\u003eAmerican Anthropologist\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"An impressive book. . . .
