Millennium: Tribal Wisdom and the Modern World
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Millennium: Tribal Wisdom and the Modern World is a popular text by Harvard anthropologist David Maybury-Lewis.
In it, he argues that the ancient customary wisdom, communal sharing and closeness to nature found in tribal or indigenous societies hold important survival lessons for our modern industrial society steeped in waste, consumerism, ecocide and social rootlessness.
