DEACON, JANETTE; CRAIG FOSTER. MY HEART STANDS IN THE HILL. Cape Town: Struik, 2005. First edition. "My Heart Stands in the Hill represents the tragically intertwined journeys of some of these First Peoples and European settlers, the fascinating spiritual travels of /Xam “medicine men” and “rock artists”, and the pilgrimage of a modern archaeologist and filmmaker who symbolically return the image of these early South Africans to the landscape that was their home. Craig Foster and Janette Deacon locate significant places described by these people and find rock engravings that record ancient shamanistic experiences connected with rainmaking and other rituals. The viewer/reader is transported to the landscapes through powerful images of the engravings in their setting. Photographs of the /Xam people themselves are brought back to the landscape by projecting the portraits onto the land." 208pp, profusely ills. 300x300mm Tall. Very Good in Very good dust-jacket. Hardcover. (#0001337)
