The lives of a previously invisible and forgotten First People of South Africa come to the fore in this carefully
researched study. The Karretjie People (Donkey Cart People) of the Great Karoo are direct descendants of the /Xam
(San/Bushmen), who were the earliest inhabitants of much of the Karoo interior. Today, as itinerant sheep-shearers,
the Karretjie People roam the arid expanses of the Karoo in their donkey carts in search of a possible shearing
opportunity, sleeping over on the roadside in their make-shift overnight shelters.
This unique study is the result of several decades of original research into the lives and community of these gypsy-like
wanderers, and highlights the plight of this marginalised South African community, poorest of the poor . The
ingenious adaptation of the Karretjie People to particularly trying circumstances and their challenging environment is
illustrated by their unique way of life. In a reader-friendly narrative Mike
de Jongh
not only makes the story of the
Karretjie People accessible to the general reader, but offers a deeper insight into the early history and environment of
the Great Karoo. At the same time, students of human and social sciences
wili
find material in the study appropriate to
methodological and theoretical issues in this subject area.
Besides offering a colourful portrait of a community neglected by both government and
NGO
agencies, this book
contains rich sociological data, which should bear important implications for policy-makers in the spheres of
education and development, as well as in the domain of political decisions.
About the author
Professor Michael
de
Jongh is a prominent anthropologist who has extensively researched
the Karretjie People. He has published widely in the fields of ethnicity, urbanisation,
traditional leadership, local government, methodology and human mobility.
