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.
