Rebecca B. Marcus
- Reading
- Preview the opening pages and one community’s section first.
- Themes
- Theme in context: The book describes the daily life, homes and customs of nine tribes in different parts of the world, presenting them through the idea of Stone Age conditions. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Read alongside discussion of respectful language and cultural context. Pause when the book compares communities with a broad label, and ask what details are included, omitted or assumed.
