As a history, the book is a remarkable tour de force. Using mainly linguistic evidence, the author locates populations, moves them around, determines their relative influence vis-vis their neighbors, and reconstructs aspects of their culture, from basic economy to the practice of extracting incisors. - American AnthropologistHumanities Open BooksHistory / Africa / EastbisacshHistoryHistory / Africa / EastHistory.Ehret Christopher243352ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910831892103321Southern Nilotic History652275UNINA
