Hotel Kalahari: "You can Check Out Any Time you Like, But you can Never Leave"University of Natal, Durban, South Africa This article relates the author's experience in the Kalahari, South Africa, to theory in a reflexive, self-conscious, and critical manner. With that intention, the article discusses the Bushmen as individual people rather than as a more abstract social phenomenon or problem and examines what might be done to ensure a more realistic and equitable portrayal of the people of the Kalahari to the world through the media. This article also intends to express the research process and the journey from innocence to experience through various encounters in the Kalahari.
