Résumé
The story of two women-a hunter-gatherer in Botswana and an American anthropologist-this book returns the reader to territory that Shostak wrote of in Nisa. Diagnosed with cancer and troubled by a sense of unfinished work, Shostak returned to Botswana in 1989. This book tells of her rediscovery of the !Kung people she had come to know years before.
