. . . a first-rate piece of scholarship . . . an invaluable summary and commentary on the multilingual literature on [Bushman] people. --Choice

The trickster and trance dancer are the guides through Bushman (or San) religion, a world of ambiguity and contradiction, and of enchantment. The two figures, who in Bushman belief are symbolically equivalent and mystically linked, embody these antistructural traits.
