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.
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.
