"Very interesting but tedious. In class, we watched some of the related films involving the later years and relocating of these tribes and it was heartbreaking."
"In this ethnography, Lee explores the lifestyle of the Ju/ 'hoansi -- a tribe located in Southern Africa. The Ju'/ live in an egalitarian (equal) society where power is divided equally amongst men, women, children, and the elderly. I thought it was interesting that the egalitarian system actually exists in some cultures around the world. Living in a capitalistic society, sometimes I cannot even comprehend what a completely equal society is like. The Ju'/ live a very good lifestyle, unable to experience poverty because money and competition is not an issue. They also do not hurt the environment because their work and life do not require machines which pollute our atmosphere."
