Relocating Bushmen from the Central Kalahari Game Reserve
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the Bushmen or San of the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR) in Botswana. The CKGR was created in 1961 with the purpose of “protecting” an endangered species -- not an animal but the San Bushmen. The reserve was established to provide a home for the Bushmen in their ‘natural environment’, the only place they were able to survive. But in order to develop both tourism and mining potential, the government of Botswana has been taking action with the intention of relocating the San to settlements that sound suspiciously like the “reservations” of North America’s own indigenous peoples. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Sacred Hunger: A Review of the Book by Barry Unsworth
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page review of the fictional scenario of the events which impact the owners, crew, and cargo of an Eighteenth Century ship, “The Liverpool Merchant”. Unsworth uses the traditional sea story to provide an interesting view of the historical factors which made slavery an accepted part of white society. He takes tradition one step further, however, by setting up a scenario in which white and black alike search for a utopian society, a means by which all can once and for all be equal. This paper analyzes the factors which made that goal an impossibility. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
