Lentswe La Lesedi and Lightbooks Publishers are pleased to announce the publi-
                                     cation of an exceptional new title that has been in the making for some nine
                                     years. It covers writing, and film, on the Khoe and San of southern Africa, some of
                                     the writing going back 150 years. It will prove a most invaluable resource for
                                     anyone interested in the region, in minority cultures and peoples, and in indig-
                                     enous peoples. As a primary resource it will also contribute to informed debate
                                     on current issues in these areas. Wide-ranging entries in the bibliography include
    Lentswe La Lesedi                the areas of linguistics, anthropology, art, social relations, development, history,
                                     health, history, education, women, environment, music, religion, land tenure,
government policy and culture, to name but a few. As a resource for researchers in the areas of southern African
peoples, or minority groups generally, the publication should prove invaluable.
More About the Book
