Wilmsen, Edwin N. - Land Filled with Flies. A Political Economy of the Kalahari.

University of Chicago Press 1989. 402pp paperback 8vo. Owners signature ffep, contents unmarked else VG-Fine condition. ISBN: 0226900150 Author overturns one of the central concepts of anthropological theory - the idea of remote hunter-gatherer societies untouched by contemporary political and economic forces. Using the San people of Southern Africa (the so-called Bushmen) generally cited as the prime example of a pristine prehistoric society, he gives evidence from many disciplines to show that the San always had ties to other peoples and that their current status as subsistence foragers is a recent development which began in pre-colonial times and has continued thereafter.
