Very interesting comment, do mention the book title.
Since you seem knowledgeable on the topic, I'm curious what is the current view of the San people in the Kalahari. I read several books on them by members of the Marshall family, and I can see how these may be seen as romanticizing their subjects and not entirely objective, yet these books give a very compelling view, and are clearly based on first hand knowledge and experience.
E.g. Elizabeth Marshall: The harmless people, 1959.
