The Harmless People by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas
An intimate ethnographic portrait of the Ju/’hoansi (often called !Kung) of the Kalahari Desert, depicting their foraging economy, egalitarian social life, child-rearing, ritual, and conflict resolution, as well as their resilience and humor amid harsh environmental constraints and growing pressures from encroaching outside societies; a humane account that challenges Western assumptions about scarcity, work, and aggression.
