This volume presents the history and culture of contemporary gathering and hunting peoples from Canada, India, Africa, Australia and the Philippines. The contributors maintain that gatherer-hunters are not examples of a disappearing way of life, but peoples who have maintained their social and economic practices through long periods of contact with stratified societies.
