Böcker av Jonathan Lawley

A wake-up call to the dangers that threaten the Jarawa, a group of palaeolithic tribespeople in the Andaman Islands, off the coast of India. Researched and written by the first director of the Royal African Society, Dr Jonathan Lawley, it chronicles the people's African origins, 100,000 years ago, and their vulnerability to civilisation and tourism

What hope is there for Africa? Since the heady days of decolonisation the story seems to be one of unrelenting disaster - dictatorship, ethnic conflict, civil war, and economic failure. This book paints a vivid and convincing picture of solid political, social and economic progress.
