Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The narrative explores Julia Blackburn's journey to the Karoo region of South Africa, where she investigates the ancestral lands of the persecuted /Xam people. In the 19th century, facing cultural extinction, they contributed to the Bleek-Lloyd Archive, a collection of 60,000 pages capturing their language, dreams, and traumas. This archive serves as a vital record of their worldview, emphasizing their belief that "all things were once people," offering a profound insight into a nearly lost way of life.
