Graduate Student Review,
By A Customer
This review is from: Harvest of the Palm: Ecological Change in Eastern Indonesia (Hardcover)
This book is great. It compares theecologicallybalancedlifestyles of the native ethnic groups living onRoti and Savuwith the swidden agricultural lifestyles of neighboring Timor. The island of Timor has become an ecological disaster with erosion, over-cultivation, and primitive farming techniques leading to increased mal-nutrition. Yet on at least two neighboring islands the environment is virtually pristine and there is a surplus of starch production. At a time when the world is looking for environmentally sound answers to increased famine, Fox discovers that perhaps we should be relying less on technology and more on tradition. For anyone interested in unique cultures, ecological anthropology, or the world hunger problem this is a must-read!
