The Cambridge encyclopedia of hunters and gatherers

Daly, Richard Heywood, 1942- (Added Author). Lee, Richard B., 1937- (Added Author). Credo Reference (Firm) (Added Author).

Summary: The Encyclopedia is divided into two parts. The first contains case studies, by leading experts, of over fifty hunting and gathering peoples, in seven major world regions. There is a general introduction and an archaeological overview for each region. Part II contains thematic essays on prehistory, social life, gender, music and art, health, religion, and indigenous knowledge. A final section surveys the complex histories of hunter-gatherers' encounters with colonialism and the state, and their ongoing struggles for dignity and human rights as part of the world-wide movement of indigenous peoples.
