Description

Discover the remarkable story of Nisa, a woman of the !Khung people, in this profound biographical work from Routledge. Living by humanity's oldest survival strategy of hunting and gathering, Nisa's life is a testament to human resilience in one of the world's most hostile environments. Through her own words, you experience the reality of a woman who was married at twelve, later separated, divorced, and widowed. Despite the loss of her four children, Nisa remains a strong and capable individual. She is a skilled forager who does not depend on any man for her daily sustenance, treating everyone she meets as an equal. This book offers a rare look into the life of a person who is wise, practical, and full of humor regarding the absurdities of life. Nisa is characterized by her courage in the face of defeat, her bawdy spirit, and her romantic nature. It is an essential read for those interested in African history, biography, and the study of traditional survival cultures.
