Tribes of India

Christoph von Furer-Haimendorf is widely regarded as the leading authority on the Indian tribal people, their lore, and their way of life. In this illuminating study, he draws on observations among Indian tribal populations from 1940-80 to assess the successs and failures of Government policies toward them. His wide-ranging work encompases economic, social change, and environmental perspectives to offer a unique resource for students and scholars of anthropology, sociology, environmental studies, and governmental policy.
