What is Threatened Cultures: Kalahari Bushmen (Threatened Cultures) about?

48 pages, The Kalahari Bushmen have traditionally been dotted around the region of the Kalahari desert, living in small, distinct bands, by hunting and gathering. Now ranchers, herders, wildlife wardens and others want the Bushmen's land. Their game is becoming scarcer as land is fenced to keep cattle safe and game overhunted with high-powered rifles. They are losing their traditional mobility. The Bushmen are slowly being sucked into the very lowest level of the cash economy, and their irreplaceable knowledge of the Kalahari environment lost. But the Bushmen's history is of resilience and adaptability, and they are starting to find ways of retaining their identity, Introduction -- THe Kalahari and its people -- The Bushman way of life -- Different Bushman groups -- Making a living in the Kalahari -- Pressures for change -- Hope for the future -- Glossary -- Further reading -- Further information
