The Khoisans are a group of South African people, including the Boschmen or the famous San Hunters, the Peachhoi Herders (in the past called "Hottentots"), and the Damara, also a grazing people. Most Khoyesan live in the Kalahari Desert and the surrounding areas of Botswana and Namibia.
Despite differences in their way of life, different groups share many things in common, and this book explores these similarities and the impact of the environment and history on aspects of the Khoyesan culture. This is the first book on Khoyesan as a whole since the 1930 publication of the people of Khuzan in South Africa, by Isak Shapira, the South African Studies Center..
