Abstract:
Bushmen or San people have been eking out a living in the margins of the Omaheke Region in Namibia, on white-owned farms and in former reserves. In this study, which is the result of eighteen months of fieldwork, the author examines the processes of marginalisation of Ju/'hoansi. He shows the radical changes experienced by Bushmen and argues that Ju/'hoan identity is constituted not in terms of cultural institutions left over from their hunting and gathering past but in terms of their historical and contemporary relations with others.
