SAVUSA Series Rozenberg (Amsterdam) 2005 ISBN-10: 90 5170 481 X http://www.rozenbergps.com/index.php?frame=boek.php&item=697 The `Bushmen' of the Kalahari could well be called an iconographic people. Partly as a result of this, over the years abundant social research has been carried out. Tomaselli and his research team from the University of Kwazulu-Natal form part of that tradition: however, in this book Tomaselli is also able to reflect critically, and not without a touch of irony on the way that the San have been represented over the years. Hardly has there been a researcher who so uncompromisingly and aptly illustrates the many ethical contradictions in doing field work amongst the San, and who at the same time manages to reconstruct and represent the actual fieldwork experience and the san people so vividly that you almost taste the dust of the Kalahari and the raucous world that is depicted.
