The socio-economic transformations of the 1990s have forced many
people in Poland into impoverishment. Hunters, Gatherers, and
Practitioners of Powerlessness gives a dramatic account of life
after this degradation, tracking the experiences of unemployed
miners, scrap collectors, and poverty-stricken village residents.
Contrary to the images of passivity, resignation, and helplessness
that have become powerful tropes in Polish journalism and academic
writing, Tomasz Rakowski traces the ways in which people actively
reconfigure their lives. As it turns out, the initial sense of
degradation and helplessness often gives way to images of
resourcefulness that reveal unusual hunting-and-gathering skills.
