"As a practice-orientated ethnography, Living on Mangetti is highly successful and presents a good example for anthropologists in search of a new way of writing ethnography without creating cultures as discrete and bounded entities. It is rich in ethnographic detail, methodologically sophisticated and penetrating in its analyses, and it offers a stimulating theoretical approach. It deserves to be widely read, not just by "Bushmen" connoisseurs but also by anthropologists who find themselves tempted by the call to abandon generalization." - Folk: Journal of the Danish Ethnographic Society

"Living on Mangetti is an ethnographic monograph that subtly escapes the alleged pitfalls of general ethnographic description without giving in on analytical generalizations ... it demonstrates very clearly that anthropological monographs have something to offer which history, political economy, or social geography cannot provide." - Folk: Journal of the Danish Ethnographic Society
