Der vorliegende Band umfaßt neun Beiträge, die aus jüngsten ethnologischen Forschungen bei San-Gemeinschaften im südlichen Afrika hervorgingen. Die Autoren beleuchten die gegenwärtige Situation verschiedener San-Gruppen in Botswana, Namibia und Südafrika. Alle Beiträge befassen sich mit dem Verhältnis zwischen den San und dem Staat sowie deren Auswirkungen auf das Leben lokaler Gemeinschaften. Während die Mehrheit der gegenwärtigen Forschungsarbeiten externe Einflüsse betonen, sollen in diesem Band lokale Faktoren hervorgehoben werden.
