Nisa, the life and words of a!Kung woman

Married at twelve, then separated, divorced and widowed, Nisa is the mother of four children, none of whom survived. She is strong, capable of foraging on her own in one of the world's most hostile environments, not dependent on any man for her daily sustenance and ready to talk to anyone as her equal. Wise, full of humour at the absurdities of life and courageous in the face of its defeats, she is bawdy, practical and incurably romantic. She is a woman of the!Khung people who live by means of humanity's oldest survival strategy - gathering and hunting. This book is the remarkable story of Nis.

  • "This book is the story of the life of Nisa, a member of the !Kung tribe of hunter-gatherers from southern Africa's Kalahari desert. Told in her own words--earthy, emotional, vivid--to Marjorie Shostak, a Harvard anthropologist who succeeded, with Nisa's collaboration, in breaking through the immense barriers of language and culture, the story is a fascinating view of a remarkable woman."@en
  • "Weergave van het leven in de Kalahari-woestijn, in de vorm van het levensverhaal van een vrouw van de!Kung-stam."
