The cultural and even physical extinction of the world's remaining tribal people is a disturbing phenomenon of our time. In his study of the Batak of the Philippines, James Eder explores the adaptive limits of small human populations facing the ecological changes, social stresses, and cultural disruptions attending incorporation into broader socioeconomic systems.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"A poignant but challenging book. It is rich with pragmatic insights. More important, this study should be utilized as a basis for the formulation of programs intended for indigenous communities." -- Erlinda Montillo-Burton, American Anthropologist
"A valuable book." -- Thomas N. Headland, Journal of Asian History
"Destined to become a classic in the field. . . . This book contains a wealth of information on the detribalization, depopulation, and deculturalization of tribal peoples." -- Mario D. Zamora, Journal of Asian Studies
