Ethnicity, Hunter-Gatherers, and the Other

An international team of experts present their insights into how one type of society, African hunter-gatherers, has managed to survive long past the first contact between foragers, farmers, and pastoralists.

Susan Kent was an eminent scholar and professor of sociology at Old Dominion University. In 1999 she received the Charles O. and Elisabeth C. Burgess Faculty Research and Creativity Award, and in May 2000 was named an eminent scholar for her long and consistent record of outstanding scholarly publications and her national and international reputation in the field of anthropology.
