Nisa: The Life and Words of a !Kung Woman
Product Description
Nisa: The Life and Words of a !Kung Woman
This classic paperback is available once again―and exclusively―from Harvard University Press.
This book is the story of the life of Nisa, a member of the !Kung tribe of hunter-gatherers from southern Africa’s Kalahari desert. Told in her own words―earthy, emotional, vivid―to Marjorie Shostak, a Harvard anthropologist who succeeded, with Nisa’s collaboration, in breaking through the immense barriers of language and culture, the story is a fascinating view of a remarkable woman.
