Hardback. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First Edition. A QUESTION OF SURVIVAL For The Indians of Brazil. Robin Hanbury-Tenison. Foreword H.R.H. The Duke of Edinburgh. Angus and Robertson, London 1973 First Edition. ISBN 0207954704 272pp This copy is in fine unmarked condition and has been signed by the author on the title page with no other dedication. The publisher's price clipped dust wrapper is lightly sunned to the spine but still fine and the book still has the publisher's scarce promotional band. This book describes the author's visit to Brazil to check whether the recommendations by the International Red Cross for the improvement of the Amazonian Indians' lot had been implemented by the Brazilian Government. To his consternation he discovered that not only had the recommendations been largely ignored but that the whole future of these tribal peoples was being jeopardized for the sake of progress. In return for their gift to the world of cocoa, peanuts, tomatoes, cashew, avocado and quinine, which are all of Amerindian origin, Indian tribes have received only disease, expropriation and death. They have no natural immunity to many of the diseases carried by the white man. Civilization is fast approaching the few remaining uncontacted tribes, and A Question of Survival poses the dilemma which faces Western Civilization and all who adhere to its philosophies: that in the name of progress and technological advance we are destroying all cultures in any way different from our own, even though they constitute the roots from which we have sprung, and without which our own stability and sense of continuity is threatened. It is, therefore, not just a question of survival for the South American Indian that the author is raising, but, by implication, the survival of us all as a species. Ref DD1. Signed by Author(s).…
