Decades before the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin lamented that English settlers were constantly fleeing over to the Indians-but Indians almost never did the same. Tribal society has been exerting an almost gravitational pull on Westerners for hundreds of years, and the reason lies deep in our evolutionary past as a communal species. The most recent example of that attraction is combat veterans who come home to find themselves missing the incredibly intimate bonds of platoon life. The loss of closeness that comes at the end of deployment may explain the high rates of post-traumatic stress disorder suffered by military veterans today.
Combining history, psychology, and anthropology, Tribe explores what we can learn from tribal societies about loyalty, belonging, and the eternal human quest for meaning. It explains the irony that-for many veterans as well as civilians-war feels better than peace, adversity can turn out to be a blessing, and disasters are sometimes remembered more fondly than weddings or tropical vacations. Tribe explains why we are stronger when we come together, and how that can be achieved even in today's divided world.

Bewertet in den USA am9. Dezember 2024What an incredibly insightful book and realization of the way we live in today’s culture and society vs. those before us. Highly recommend this read for anyone on where we are as a society, what it means to have and build community and its importance and what we should look for or do moving forward!

Bewertet in den USA am10. September 2024I couldn't put this book down after the first few pages. It is very well written, and I saw and felt what the author wrote. I calmly, and surprisingly, learned a lot I never knew and began to understand! I will read it again ... and I recommend it to everybody.

Bewertet in den USA am16. Januar 2017This was recommended to me by a brother-in-arms during a discussion about the transition from combat to civilian life and the challenges and obstacles it presents. It was not at all what I had expected. Junger's WAR did a solid job of showing the depth of commitment between soldiers in combat, and I had anticipated more of the same here. While this is part of the book, Junger seeks to take a more holistic look at why, when things are grim, people do what they do: why do people sacrifice and behave altruistically in times of crisis? He makes a stab at an answer, but in the end, the conclusions are unsatisfying.
Essentially, Junger argues, people are missing a sense of belonging, of being an important part of a larger whole, of feeling important to their community - their tribe. I get this; this sense of belonging and trust and altruism is among the things I miss the most from my time in the military (and combat.) Junger provides a lot of evidence to support this from primatology to early American history to the struggles and issues returning warriors experience today.
There is much that Junger writes about that I agree with: that in spite of the modern conveniences and comforts we have, the modern wold also alienates us from one another. That the contempt we have for other Americans who politically disagree with us is toxic; that the conservative outrage at social service cheats is absolutely right - but so is the liberal inclination to provide social services to the needy. That the platitudes of "thank you for your service", yellow ribbons and military discounts are hollow in a society that does nothing to share, recognize or even authentically hear the voices of veterans.
Yet I can't help but feel Junger missed an opportunity. He does a remarkable job of describing the problem, of quantifying it, even of showing what works in terms of "belonging" in other parts of the world - but he is not detailed enough nor forceful enough to propose a solution for Americans here and now. He alludes to what is necessary: a sense of solidarity that transcends wealth, social class, race and gender -but does little to point the way to how that can be created in a modern, industrialized society. Perhaps it can't be. But I suspect it could be.

Bewertet in den USA am25. Mai 2016“We have met the enemy and he is us.”
—Pogo, by Walt Kelly (1912-1973)
Sebastian Junger’s central theme is the epidemic of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) suffered by returning American war fighters that is exponentially higher than any previous conflict in world history.
The root cause, according to Sebastian Junger, is not war, violence, death and destruction overseas. It is not the VA back home. It is us.
Junger opens with a brilliant narrative—footnote free and wonderfully informative—of how primitive tribes, societies and communes through history waged wars and successfully dealt with the aftermath.
Then he cuts to the chase. A quick sampling:
“The vast majority of traumatized vets are not faking their symptoms, however. They return from wars that are safer than those their fathers and grandfathers fought, and yet far greater numbers of them wind up alienated and depressed. This is true even for people who didn’t experience combat. In other words, the problem doesn’t seem to be the trauma on the battlefield so much as reentry into society.”
“Todays veterans often come home to find that although they’re willing to die for their country, they’re not sure how to live for it. It’s hard to know how to live for a country that regularly tears itself apart along every possible ethnic and demographic boundary. The income gap between rich and poor continues to widen, many people live in racially segregated communities, the elderly are mostly sequestered from public life, and rampage shootings happen so regularly that they only remain in the news cycle for a day or two. To make matters worse, politicians occasionally accuse rivals of deliberately trying to harm their own country—a charge so destructive to group unity that most past societies would probably have just punished it as a form of treason. It’s complete madness, and the veterans know this.”
Before casting a vote November 8, 2016, I urge you to read TRIBE: On Homecoming and Belonging. And give it as a gift to everyone you care about.

Steph K.Bewertet in Kanada am 14. August 20245,0 von 5 Sternen Thought Provoking
I previously read "Freedom" by Sebastian Junger and I liked it alot. But I found Tribe hard to put down. It was a fluid, easy read that really had me thinking about society today and why we are struggling the way we are...it's our lack of community. This book has pushed me to seek out people in person more often as a small step to building more community in my life.

Amazon CustomerBewertet in Indien am 20. März 20195,0 von 5 Sternen A great book on what it means to live in a human society
I was intrigued by his take on what makes humans happy e.g. One can peacefully sleep in a group of 30 people in war zone vs a very disturbed sleep for a solo hiker in a serene forest. Loved this example and there are many point he made which are quite deep.

Philippe G.E. HAMONBewertet in Frankreich am 15. August 20175,0 von 5 Sternen Livre exceptionnel
Livre très interressant que j'ai beaucoup apprécié. Livraison efficace. Explications très succintes des propos de cet auteur très connu dans son domaine.
LeistBewertet in Deutschland am 27. September 20175,0 von 5 Sternen Thoughtful analysis of how western society has organized everyday life and how it is affecting us
Why are suicide rates in western societies so high? Why do soldiers miss the war, even though it was a terrible experience? How are we organized, how do we take care of each other - and why do so many people in our society fall through the cracks?
This book raises these questions, analizes them and offers new views. What this book thankfully does not do: It does not offer an easy solution - because there probably isn't one.
After reading trough this book in a day and a half I understood more about my society, about my own behavior and about the human race as a whole. The book itself is - as usual with Sebastian Junger - very well written, very easy to digest while at the same time not being superficial. It is a must read for everyone who is interested in society, in the human kind, in conflict and in how one works.
