Offers an account of 18-month journey through the world of a people who have no intention of vanishing into the past. This book retraces the history of the ever-expanding white frontier, from the first eighteenth-century explorer to the wildest corporate energy dreams.
Renowned anthropologist and film-maker Hugh Brody weaves a dazzling tapestry of personal memory and distant landscapes: childhood in England in the shadow of the Second World War, the Derbyshire hills, a kibbutz in Israel and the deep Canadian Arctic.
Exploring the lives of hunter-gatherers over three decades, the author challenges conventional views, arguing that it is agricultural societies and their descendants who are the real nomads, marked by restlessness. In contrast, he highlights the profound connection that hunter-gatherers have with their land and traditions, showcasing their unique understanding of belonging to the natural and spiritual realms. This thought-provoking examination invites readers to reconsider stereotypes and appreciate the depth of indigenous cultures.
In this account of hunter/gatherer culture gleaned from years of living and hunting with the Inuits of the Arctic and the salmon-fishing tribes in the Canadian Northwest, the author reaches through everyday realities to reflect on the human condition.
