Description

Foraging bands were the quintessential form of human social organization for most of prehistory. Current arguments rage on the genesis of the contemporary descendants of these hunter-gatherers and their applicability to our understanding of lifeways before agriculture and domestication of animals. Sibel Barut Kusimba addresses this debate by synthesizing the archaeological evidence in Africa from the Middle Stone Age to the present, where the greatest time depth of foraging cultures can be traced. She develops a comprehensive picture of these foundational human societies, their social and technological adaptations to environmental conditions, and the impact of interaction from later economic systems on their lifeways. The book should be of importance to both cultural and archaeological anthropologists and their students. Review Kusimba presents a lucid, up-to-date review of the theoretical underpinnings of the archaeological interpretation of hunter-gatherers... the author interprets the later stone-age archaeology of the region in light of these ideas and underscores the dynamic and resilient value of the hunter-gatherer adaptation. The result is a volume that will be essential in college and university libraries...Essential.--R.B. Clay, (formerly of) University of Kentucky "CHOICE " Sibel Barut Kusimba's African Foragers will serve as an excellent introductory text for students, not just for those working in African archaeology but also beyond. This is a comprehensive, up-to-date synthesis of outstanding research on the archaeology of African hunter-gatherers.--Peter Mitchell, St. Hugh's College, Oxford University The work is very well written, with a wealth of theoretical argument that will be extremely useful for graduate seminars in African Prehistory.--Andrew B. Smith "H-Africa " About the Author Sibel Kusimba is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Lawrence University and an Adjunct Curator of Anthropology at the Field Museum in Chicago.
