Jack Forbes

    Jack D. Forbes was een inheemse Amerikaanse schrijver, wetenschapper en politiek activist wiens werk de impact van de beschaving op inheemse culturen kritisch onderzocht. Zijn geschriften doken in complexe thema's van geschiedenis, macht en verzet, en boden een diepgaand perspectief op maatschappelijke structuren. Forbes' intellectuele nalatenschap ligt in zijn scherpe analyse en zijn rol bij het vormgeven van het discours rond anti-beschavingsbewegingen, wat vele lezers en activisten inspireerde.
