| Abstract: | An overview of Bushman society is followed by an outline of the major ethnic and linguistic divisions, and then by a more detailed exposition on each of the groups and their current plight. The groups examined include notably the !Kung, Nharo, Central Kalahari Bushmen, Khoe-speaking Bushmen of eastern Botswana, and Ixo. The paper concludes with a discussion of the prospects for future economic development and its relation to the preservation of the Bushmen and their cultural identity. It is argued that, in spite of recent and severe problems caused by drought and by the domination of Bushmen groups by outside forces, Bushman culture remains viable as long as Bushmen are able to retain the opportunity for self-determination. |
