Editor's note: 'In Miscast: Negotiating the Presence of the Bushmen, eminent scholars explore the term "Bushmen", and the relationships that gave rise to it, from the perspectives of anthropology, archaeology, comparative religion, literary studies, art history, and musicology. Topics as diverse as trophy heads and museums, to the destruction of the Cape San and appraisals of nineteenth-century photographic practices, are examined. A parallel text runs throughout the book and provides a counter narrative to the central discourses. The book is richly illustrated with previously unpublished photographs and documents from many archives and museum collections.'
