Jeanette Deacon & Craig Foster

MY HEART STANDS IN THE HILL

Cape Town: Struik Publishers, 2005

 

First edition. Signed by Deacon on reverse of front free endpaper.

Col. & b/w illustrations.

Oblong 4to

Laminated pictorial boards in very good dustjacket, in unread condition.

The /Xam bushmen (and European Settlers) in South Africa and their rock art.

 

 

 

There are remote parts of this country that seem untouched since the time Bushmen walked and hunted and danced there. There are archives in Cape Town with thousands of pages of Bushman lore, transcribed painstakingly by language specialists of the 1800s. There’s an ever-expanding audience of readers hungry for the wisdom represented by our First Peoples. 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.
