Dobe

Dobe Lee, Richard B., 1993, The Dobe Ju/ 'hoansi. Fort Worth: Harcourt Brace College Publishers, (second edition). Bushman: a member of a group of short-statured peoples of southern Africa who traditionally live by hunting and foraging. While the term 'bushman' has come to be known as both racist and sexist, it is easily the most recognized term when describing the people living amongst the bush of southern Africa. The San, as they are now known as, are a cluster of indigenous peoples of southern Africa who speak a click language and who have a tradition of living by hunting and gathering (10). In the book The Dobe Ju/'hoansi, Richard B. Lee, an anthropologist from the University of Toronto, takes an interesting and in-depth look into the San life by centering his studies on one specific group. Lee's focus of study takes place on the border between the countries of Namibia and Botswana in an area called the Dobe. Here there live a tribe of people known as the Dobe Ju/'hoansi. Lee centers on several important issues of the Ju/'hoansi culture and lifestyle throughout the book. He provides a tremendous amount of information that is broken into twelve chapters that continually draws dobe, ju/hoansi, lee, very, culture, book, reader, people, one, interesting, information, hunting, while, names, woman, social, sexual, sex, part, organization, live, life, kinship, important, gathering, able, throughout, through, themselves, study, story, southern, sexuality, same, relatively, readers
