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 Anthropologist 410 $aHumanities Open Books 606 $aHistory / Africa / East$2bisacsh 606 $aHistory 615 7$aHistory / Africa / East 615 0$aHistory. 700 $aEhret$b Christopher$0243352 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831892103321 996 $aSouthern Nilotic History$9652275 997 $aUNINA
