Marshall leads the reader through the intricacies, ambiguities, and silences of !Kung beliefs. Based on fieldwork among the Bushmen of the Kalahari in the early 1950s, she presents the culture, beliefs, and spirituality of one of the last true hunting-and-gathering peoples by focusing on members of different bands as they reveal their own views.
