Very good condition. "This fascinating account of the Cape's indigenous people traces the origins and history of the San hunter-gatherers, whose ancestry in southern Africa dates back at least 120 000 years, and the Khoekhoe herders, who arrived in the south-western Cape about 2000 years ago. Drawing on archaeological and historical research, Alan Mountain examines the impact of colonialism and shows that despite the demise of San and Khoekhoe societies, aspects of their ancient cultures survive to this day. The First People of the Cape includes: Attractive full-colour photographs and maps; Detailed information on selected heritage sites in the Western Cape. Informative and accessible, this volume will appeal to those with an interest in history and the cultural heritage of the Cape's first people, and is an ideal guide for both visitors and locals who wish to explore the heritage sites of the Western Cape.".
