Isi artikel

This article continues Tomaselli's Kalahari story on issues of representation, research methodology, and reverse cultural studies. He discusses relationships between observers and observed in terms of dependency, inclusions/ exclusions, and borders and Othering. Continuing with an auto-ethnography, Tomaselli reflexively analyzes tensions and contradictions set in motion by the writing of this article within both the San communities themselves and between himself, development, and other agencies working in one of these areas. Questions addressed relate to ownership of information, the relationship between the local/particular and the national/policy, and how to ensure campfire dissemination/involvement of the written product.
