About this title: RETURN TO NISA, the sequel to Marjorie Shostak's classic 1981 study NISA: THE LIFE AND WORDS OF A !KUNG WOMAN, revisits the !Kung tribe eight years later. Recovering from a mastectomy following breast cancer, Shostak writes about her need to revisit Nisa and the !Kung, her perceptions about their gradual relinquishment of a traditional hunter-gatherer lifestyle, and her disappointment in their lukewarm reception of her.
