"Iets oor die Boesmankultuur" by Reenen J. Van Reenen is a scholarly work written in the early 20th century. This publication presents the findings of a lecture delivered to the South African Academy, focusing on the culture of the Bushmen people. The book likely explores various aspects of Bushman life, including their art, social practices, and historical context, while also addressing misconceptions about the group. The opening of the work provides an introduction to Reenen J. Van Reenen's motivations for studying the Bushmen culture, inspired by an interest in their art and a desire to counter misrepresented notions in existing literature. He conveys his opinion that a deeper understanding of their culture is essential to fully appreciate their artistic contributions and outlines the challenges faced in compiling reliable information regarding the Bushman way of life. The early chapters seem to set the stage for a detailed examination of various elements of Bushman existence, from historical origins to social norms, presenting a nuanced view of a group that has experienced significant cultural changes.
