Beschreibungen
<p>The Jarawa, one of the oldest tribes of human beings in the world, are at risk of extinction because of a road that now runs through their forests in the Indian-administered Andaman Islands, in the Bay of Bengal — and no one seems to care.<br/>Tourists take the road each day to try and get selfies with the tribespeople, who came from what is now Botswana over 60,000 years ago.<br/>Once proud of their independence, the Jarawa are now tempted with biscuits and trinkets, as if they were exotic animals in a human safari park. They cannot survive like this, and are already suffering from their loss of privacy.<br/>In this astonishing EnvelopeBooks publication, Jonathan Lawley returns to what was once a penal colony, built by the British to house mutineers from 1857 Indian Rebellion.<br/>He asks what responsibility colonial administrators like his own grandfather may have had for the sad plight of these palaeolithic hunter-gatherers, and what the Indian government should now be doing to protect them.<br/>Sumptuously illustrated with the author’s never-before-seen archive photographs and highly recommended by leading figures in the British media and government.</p>
