This enlightening video is a trailer documenting 50 years in the lives of the Ju/'hoansi of Southern Africa, from 1951 to 2000. These once independent hunter-gatherers experience dispossession, confinement to a homeland, and the chaos of war. Then as hope for Namibian independence and the end of apartheid grows, Ju/'hoansi fight to establish farming communities and reclaim their traditional lands.The series challenges stereotypes of "Primitive Bushmen" with images of the development projects Ju/'hoansi are carrying out themselves" (description from the DER website.)

This is an excellent film clip (trailer for a documentary series). It raises very important issues about how Ju/'hoansi people are and have been represented (to be discussed in Lecture 9 as well). It emphasizes - once again - that Ju/'hoansi are not "primitive people"; they are people who for complex historical reasons were primarily gaining their subsistance by foraging in the mid-20th century and since that time have been struggling with both the challenges and benefits of incorporation into modern nations and agricultural and industrial systems of production and consumption. In particular, this image of Ju/'hoansi as "primitive bushmen" has had (mostly negative) influences on the way they have been treated.
