1971 1st Edition/Printing "THE TWILIGHT OF THE PRIMITIVE" by Lewis Cotlow

Description: Up for sale is a 1971 1st Edition/1st Printing copy of "THE TWILIGHT OF THE PRIMITIVE" by Lewis Cotlow. Lewis Cotlow is in a unique position to depict the fate of primitive men throughout the world. For over three decades he has witnessed the impact of modern life on pre-literate societies in Africa, in South America, in the Arctic, in Australia and Oceania, and he concludes that their situation today is every bit as urgent as the global environment crisis. Mr. Cotlow, in The Twilight of the Primitive, ranges far but he examines closely the disappearance of peoples whose way of life were incalculably old. His insights are the result of his many personal ties and living experiences among primitive men; of witnessing tribes that were once proud and independent reduced to a handful of dejected and bewildered survivors. He calls into question some of the accepted "solutions" that are intended, at this late hour, to save the remaining traditional societies from total extinction.This book is in very good condition.
