Description

Book Synopsis
The Denver African Expedition of 1925 sought “the cradle of Humanity.” The explorers returned claiming to have found the “Missing Link” in the Heikum bushmen of the Kalahari—and they proceeded to market this image.

Trade Review
“The pleasure of reading Gordon’s wit and erudition never compromises the chilling account of western culpability for the manufacture of a vision of culture that has harmed those trapped in its gaze.”
