The Old Way is an intimate profile of the Ju/wasi people, an ancient hunter-gatherer population that subsisted peacefully for centuries in the Kalahari desert until the 1950's when their efficient and industrious way of life fatally collided with modernity, poverty, drugs and alcohol abuse. Elizabeth Marshall Thomas' portrait of the Ju/wasi is well-written, informative and not without humor. My favorite passages are the reflections on the author's interaction with women and children. Here's a representative example:"To lift a Ju/wa child is an interesting and wonderful experience. An American child is heavy by comparison and comes up off the ground like a sack of grain with arms and legs dangling--dead weight. A Ju/wa child almost lifts himself because he participates in the action with his arms and legs ready to clasp you so that the two of you instantly fuse as if you were a magnet and he a little piece of steel. And you don't have to hold him up--he clamps himself right on you and holds himself in place. You need merely to keep an arm around him. I love to carry Ju/wa children..." (114).Some parts were less warm and more clinical, reading like an ornithologist's description of a flock of birds. (The author makes no ontological distinction between man and beast.) While I don't agree with her view that the only fundamental difference between chimps and us is time, I still enjoyed her tenderly rendered portrait of a people she obviously cares very much about.
The Old Way is an excellent view of the world of the First People, how they lived for so many previous millennia, and what has happened to them in this one. Sometimes beautifully written, always wonderfully observed, it yet suffers from repetition, and the unavoidable lack of a normal narrative line for most of the book. These are people who survived by changing as little as possible, not constantly striving toward some far-off goal in the way we come to expect in histories. But this is an important book, and well worth the effort to read and finish.
I have always found anything written about the bushmen of the Kalahari fascinating. Many of Laurens Van der Post's books, for instance.This particular account was written by a woman who in her youth, along with family members, actually lived for some time among bushmen who were still living according to their ancient culture. I found it tremendously interesting, though sad in the parts that dealt with their difficulties brought about by the modern world.
This book caps off a lifetime of involvement with the hunter-gatherer people. Her first book, The Harmless People was from the eyes of a teenage Elizabeth Thomas. I enjoyed both immensely, and these brought me to her mother's books, Kung of Nyae Nyae, and Nyae Nyae !Kung Beliefs and Rites. These books have finally helped me fully comprehend our species as the animals we are, and not the civilized wonders we ideal ourselves.
This is a simply wondrous book. The author was one of the first modern white people to actually study the Bushmen, and liked the experience so much that she kept going back. If you have seen "The Gods Must Be Crazy" (and everyone should see "Gods" several times), the star is a real "wild" Bushman and personal friend of the author. For as much speculation as there is on "early humans", life among the Bushmen has probably not changed in 60,000 years. And they don't live on the edge of starvation and they don't spend their days plotting to kill the tribe who lives on the other side of the hill.
This is a great read but with a very sad ending. Elizabeth Marshal Thomas talks about her time she spent living with the Bushmen of the Kalahari. The books talks about how they live, hunt, marry and live in harmony within their natural environment. It makes you think a lot about our society and how we are so out of tune with the natural world. Instead of destroying the way these remarkable people lived we should have studied how they lived and learned from them. The same can be said for the Australian Aboriginal people whose culture has been destroyed in much the same way. The ending is sad and like every ancient society that has been destroyed by western culture, the few remaining Bushmen that are alive have turned to alcohol and have no sense or purpose in life, just like what happened to the Australian Aboriginal people.
