In rural Africa differences in modes of subsistence are widely represented as ethnic differences. A fundamental distinction is often made between agriculturalists, pastoralists and hunter-gatherers. Evidence suggests that these categories are indigenous and enduring. This article focuses on serious discrimination against hunter-gatherer ethnic minorities. The forms of discrimination considered are negative stereotypes, denial of rights and segregation. Reasons underlying these forms of discrimination are analysed - the political weakness of hunter-gatherers, the distorted notions that they are impoverished, backward, uncivilized, eaters of revolting foods and animal-like or child-like in their behaviour. Less negative notions are also assessed: hunter-gatherers as original inhabitants, their identification with fertility and as shedders of blood. Religious responses to such hegemonic ideologies and to discrimination are considered. Hunter-gatherer religions are not usually religions of protest but are focused on their own sense of self-worth, on the celebration of their distinctive ways of life, on health and well-being
