The Mountain People book by Colin M. Turnbull
By Colin M. TurnbullThe Mountain People book by Colin M. Turnbull
In The Mountain People , Colin M. Turnbull describes the dehumanization of the Ik, African tribesmen who in less than three generations have deteriorated from being once-prosperous hunters to scattered bands of hostile, starving people whose only goal is individual survival.
Sad, disturbing, and eloquently written, The Mountain People is a moving meditation on human nature, our capacity for goodness, and the fragility of human society.
