ISBN:  9781632865724 (hardcover) : 1632865726 (hardcover) Description:  xii, 297 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations, maps ; 25 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "A vibrant portrait of the "original affluent society"--the Bushmen of southern Africa--by the anthropologist who has spent much of the last twenty-five years documenting their encounter with modernity. If the success of a civilization is measured by its endurance over time, then the Bushmen of the Kalahari are by far the most successful in human history. A hunting and gathering people who made a good living by working only as much as needed to exist in harmony with their hostile desert environment, the Bushmen have lived in southern Africa since the evolution of our species nearly two hundred thousand years ago. In Affluence Without Abundance, anthropologist James Suzman vividly brings to life a proud and private people, introducing unforgettable members of their tribe, and telling the story of the collision between the modern global economy and the oldest hunting and gathering society on earth. In rendering an intimate picture of a people coping with radical change, it asks profound questions about how we now think about matters such as work, wealth, equality, contentment, and even time. Not since Elizabeth Marshall Thomas's The Harmless People in 1959 has anyone provided a more intimate or insightful account of the Bushmen or of what we might learn about ourselves from our shared history as hunter-gatherers."--Jacket flap.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 968.00496 Su Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 968.00496 Suzm Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 968.00496 Suzman Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 968.00496 Su Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 968.00496 Su Checked In Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 968.00496 Su Checked In Add Copy to MyList
