About This Item
Boulder CO: Westview Press, 1992. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 304 pages, b&w illustrations. INSCRIBED BY AUTHOR on front fly leaf to fellow anthropologist William Mitchell.Images of the Bushman—from the innocent hero of the hit movie, The Gods Must Be Crazy, to “vermin” eradicated by the colonists, to the superhuman trackers conscripted by the South African Defense Forces, and the living embodiment of prehistory for the academic—shape our perceptions rather than the actuality. Looking at this interplay between imagery, history, and policy, Robert Gordon focuses not on the Bushman but on the colonizers’ image of them and the consequences of that image for the people assumed to be Bushmen. Clean copy. Record # 378336
