AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source discusses changes in the hunting and gathering activities, residential patterns and meat distribution among Central Kalahari San who are undergoing processes of sedentarization and monetization. According to the author, these processes have come about following the establishment of a school, a medical clinic, and a stable water supply and the development of cash income opportunities, all of which are the result primarily of government and missionary efforts.
