The Old Way: A Story of the First People
December 30, 2008
I have no interest in Kalahari Bushmen whatsoever, but I couldn’t put down The Old Way: A Story of the First People by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas. She writes of her experiences in the Kalahari many years ago and of the recent sad, destructive changes. She is a most empathetic and observant anthropologist and writes clear, engaging, and provocative prose.
