Two years ago the bushman took their government to court because they alleged they had been effectively evicted from the land that was rightfully theirs. In a catch 22 they seem to be losing their identities on all fronts as they work to embrace modern society and culture, while at the same time feel themselves being pushed out of the land that they have occupied for many centuries as the tourism industry and the government take over (Leithead, Alastair (2004) Botswana's Bushmen Battle for Land (http://www.globalpolicy.org/nations/sovereign/sover/emerg/2004/0712bushmen.htm).
Thousands of bushmen used to live traditional hunter-gatherer lives inside the Central Kalahari Game Reserve, but now there are just a handful. And few still wear their loincloths or use bows and arrows to hunt game.

The continental separation lasted long enough to foster divergent evolution, making some bacteria, animals and plants unique to the new world, and others unique to the old world (Crosby, 2011). Human
In the 1990s, once globalization had momentum and it was obvious to many observers that "decent work" wasn't the end all in terms of solutions, Munck continues. Is "decent work" just a "backward-looking utopianism" as Waterman (2008) insisted it is?
