Description

Where the Roads All End: Photography and Anthropology in the Kalahari

This remarkable account tells the story of an American family's expeditions to the remote Kalahari Desert in South-West Africa during the 1950s. The Marshalls, a self-taught ethnographic team, documented the lives of hunter-gatherers, known as Bushmen, and created an unparalleled archive of photographs and films.

With over 300 images, this book reflects on the enduring ethnographic record established by the Marshalls and explores the pathways they charted in anthropological fieldwork, visual anthropology, ethnographic film, and documentary photography. A unique and multilayered account of a family enterprise that challenged negative stereotypes and revitalized academic studies.
