The prevailing view has often been that indigenous peoples were merely obstacles to the onward march of progress. Even now the echoes of history remain strong. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eToday, however, the lands of indigenous peoples are the new frontier full of the raw materials coveted by industrial society. This new colonization recalls the old: the same impetus to 'civilise' exists today in the minds of political leaders, World Bank officials and transnational corporations. Yet it is an ill-disguised bonanza with no thought for the long-term effects on the land, or the people who live there. Only the elimination of the colonial relationship itself can lead to a partnership of cultures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julian Burger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0862323924\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780862323929\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Julian Burger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44583744110847,"sku":"9780862323929","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e91911c4-ae0d-4205-942b-a9a9a2101b08.jpg?v=1701883314","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/report-from-the-frontier-julian-burger-9780862323929","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
