Claim to the Country: The Archive of Wilhelm Bleek and Lucy Lloyd.
Johannesburg : Jacana Press, 2007. First edition.
"In the 1870s, facing cultural extinction and the death of their language, several San men and women told their stories to two pioneering colonial scholars at the Cape, Wilhelm Bleek and Lucy Lloyd.
The narratives of these San (or Bushmen) were of the land, the rain, the history of the first people, and the origin of the moon and stars.
These narratives were faithfully recorded and translated by Bleek and Lloyd, creating an archive of more than 13,000 pages including drawings, notebooks, maps, and photographs. - Including the complete /Xam and!Kun texts given by /A!kunta, /Ikabbo, Kasin, Dia!kwain,!Kweiten ta /Iken and /Hankass'o; also the boys /Uma, Tamme,!Nanni and Da, along with their watercolours and drawings, never before published in their entirety ; with selected photographs, documents, letters and notes, including contributions from Jemima Bleek and Dorothea Bleek ; and contributions from John Parkington ... [et al.]."
