Nisa: The Life and Words of a !Kung Woman Marjorie Shostak

This classic paperback is available once again and exclusively from Harvard University Press.
It is the story of Nisa, a member of the Kung hunter-gatherer people of southern Africa's Kalahari desert, told in her own words-earthy, emotional. vivid to Marjorie Shostak, an American ethnographer. Together, these two women break through immense barriers of language and culture to give us a fascinating view of a remarkable life.

"A scrupulous, sad, exciting book."
New York Times
"We have a remarkable anthropologist to thank for an absorbing account."
New York Review of Books

"Both Nisa and Shostak are unusual people, and their collaboration has resulted in an unparalleled account of Kung life from a personal, rather than social or ecological perspective. Even more important, their work results in a revelation of the universality of women's experiences and feel-ings despite vast differences in culture and society. Nisa helps us know what it means to be !Kung, to be a woman, and finally, to be human." Choice
"When I reread 'Nisa,' as I have done regularly in teaching over the years, 1 experience its originality, poignancy, and excitement afresh each time. Few books that were so influential in changing the look and feel of ethnography for entire generations of anthropologists have held up so well. It is a classic, with currency and continuing possibility."
George Marcus, Professor of Anthropology, Rice University
MARJORIE SHOSTAK was an ethnographer and an award-winning photographer.
