​Professor Michael de Jongh is a prominent anthropologist, who has researched the ‘forgotten’ first people of South Africa extensively. In a previous book, ‘Roots and Routes: The Karretjie People of the Great Karoo’ (published by the Unisa Press and also available in Afrikaans, as ‘Karretjiemense van die Groot Karoo: Vergete Afstammelinge van die Vroegste Suid-Afrikaners’), Prof. de Jongh described the descendants, now itinerant sheep-shearers, of the early /Xam-Bushmen, who roamed the Karoo before the coming of the first Europeans and other communities. This publication was listed for the Alan Paton Prize for Non-Fiction and won the Hiddingh-Currie award for academic excellence and contribution to society
