Victims of Progress, now in its sixth edition, offers a compelling
account of how technology and development affect indigenous peoples
throughout the world. Bodley's expansive look at the struggle
between small-scale indigenous societies, and the colonists and
corporate developers who have infringed their territories reaches
from 1800 into today. He examines major issues of intervention such
as social engineering, economic development, self-determination,
health and disease, global warming, and ecocide. Small-scale
societies, Bodley convincingly demonstrates, have survived by
organizing politically to defend their basic human rights.
Providing a provocative context in which to think about
civilization and its costs-shedding light on how we are all victims
of progress-the sixth edition features expanded discussion of
"uprising politics," Tebtebba (a particularly active indigenous
organization), and voluntary isolation. A wholly new chapter
devotes full coverage to the costs of global warming to indigenous
peoples in the Pacific and the Arctic. Finally, new appendixes
guide readers to recent protest petitions as well as online
resources and videos.
