 FWKCP
Late eighteenth-century travelers, like the Swede Anders Sparrman (Voyage to the Cape of Good Hope 1785) and Englishman John Barrow (Travels in the Interior of Southern Africa 1801), vociferously deplore the brutality of the colonists and the injustice of the extermination campaign.
Thus Sparrman describes the Bushmen as "free from many wants and desires, that torment the rest of mankind," "detesting all manner of labour," yet easily induced into slavery by a little meat and tobacco (Sparrman 1975: 198—20 1).
What turns up throughout this literature is the same blazing contradiction between a tendency on the one hand to historicize the !Kung as survivor-victims of European imperialism, and a tendency on the other to naturalize and objectify them as primal beings virtually untouched by history.
