Description

Born in 1973 and a member of the Apalache clan—one of the communities of Australia’s Indigenous peoples—Tyson Yancaporta is the founder of the Laboratory for Indigenous Knowledge Systems at Deakin University in Melbourne. In his book, he examines the inevitable conflicts between a rational and global Western worldview and the traditional understanding of the world that Australian Aboriginal people still follow today. Moving from the world of tradition to the global world without changing his Indigenous beliefs, Yancaporta seeks to interpret Indigenous tradition as a perspective for evaluating globalization from an external viewpoint.
