Can communities reclaim the value of local cultural identity?Harnessing moving personal testimonies of cultural loss and resistance, Jeremy Seabrook embarks upon a wide-ranging and sensitive exploration of the battleground between local and global.Paperback; 296 pages. Colour plates. Printed on recycled paper.
