Reseña del libro "An Exquisite Heritage: The Forager Rock Art of Zimbabwe (en Inglés)"
Zimbabwe has one of Africa's great concentrations of prehistoric art. Scattered throughout the country are a multitude of painted and engraved rock art sites, the product of several societies in the past. Most were painted by San hunter-gatherers (foragers) who lived in this part of Southern Africa over many millennia. It is this, the Foragers' art, which is the prime focus of this copiously illustrated booklet which uses photographs taken at many rock art sites throughout the country. The art is no simple matter; it is not the product of idle minds, but it portrays the complex beliefs and social ceremonies of these now lost communities. We do not pretend to answer all questions and consider this booklet as an introduction to the art. We point to various approaches towards understanding the complex, and sometimes conflicting symbolism of the art. In this we are inspired by historic and contemporary Khoesan ethnography, observations on wild animal animal behaviour, and current regional academic literature on the fascinating rock art of Southern Africa. We seek to answer many of the basic questions which we are often asked about the age, technique and meaning of the art. We aim to encourage discussion and deeper appreciation of the art. We must try to understand the art from the perspectives of the people who made it - we must escape from dated and simplistic reductionism based on our own societies' beliefs, symbolism and ceremonies which are often clouded by contemporary concerns. Such an approach is undoubtedly difficult, but it is necessary. This booklet is a challenge to look again at the painted and engraved prehistoric images of Zimbabwe's diverse rock art. Hopefully it will result in a deeper appreciation of the art and encourage visitors to get to see these painted canvases. Through promoting a better understanding, we hope to contribute to its preservation and conservation for the appreciation of future generations.
