Sandy Gall's new book on
the Bushmen
August 2001
Journalist and broadcaster
Sandy Gall has just published a new book, 'The Bushmen of Southern
Africa - Slaughter of the Innocent'. This will be of great interest to
Survival supporters especially as several chapters focus on the
evictions of the Khwe Bushmen, for whom Survival is currently
campaigning, from the central Kalahari in Botswana. The book charts the
appalling history of genocide of the Bushmen at the hands of both white
colonists and black tribes. Eloquent interviews with Bushmen testify to
their continuing struggle for land rights and equality.
Sandy Gall concludes that
international pressure on governments to uphold Bushman rights is key to
their survival.
