DESCRIPTION
The present book "Among the Endangered Hunter Gatherers: An Anthropological Exploration in Andaman Islands" discusses the entire situation that the four hunter-gatherer small tribes viz. the Great Andamanese, the Onges, the Jarawas and the Sentinelese experienced in past and have still been experiencing, in a simple narrative style, without any technical jargons, keeping the common readers in mind. The book, based on prolong anthropological observations examines probable reasons of conflicts and ‘hostility’ that prevailed among the four hunter-gatherer small tribes who are still struggling for their physical survival. The social and cultural elements analysed from anthropological perspectives against the backdrop of historical events indicate the fates of these tribes in the context of contemporary developments in these Islands. This firsthand comprehensive anthropological account on the contemporary living strategies of the classical hunter-gatherers answers to several queries still prevailing among many common people as well as administrators and academicians and help removing their many misunderstandings and misconceptions about these little known tribes.
