This title in the World Cultures series is as much a call to end contemporary oppression as it is a celebration of rich traditional culture. The packed chapters trace the history of the San (Bushmen), the earliest people in large parts of southern Africa, who were there 40,000 to 10,000 years ago, until they were driven into the desert, first by Bantu people and then by white settlers. Uncluttered pages filled with color photos show the San life today, as well as the incredible ancient cave rock paintings that still exist. Few San are still hunters and gatherers, but in 2006, the Botswana courts ruled that the San have a right to their ancestral land.

This is a true story of exodus, the inevitable journey of the last of the First People, as they leave the Great Sand Face and head for the modern world and cultural oblivion. Paul John Myburgh spent seven years with the 'People of the Great Sand Face', a group of /Gwikwe Bushmen in the Kalahari Desert. They were years of physical and spiritual immersion into a way of life of which only an echo remains in living memory. But all does not end there. In The Bushman Winter Has Come, the author imagines a continuing journey towards a place where we may, once again, know who we are in the context of our life on this earth ... towards a time when we may answer the /Gwikwe's morning greeting, Tsamkwa/tge? (Are your eyes nicely open?) with a confident Yes.
