Description
Ours is an era of uprootedness| with fewer and fewer people living out their lives where they are born. At such a time| in such a world| what does it mean to be at home? Perhaps among a nomadic people| for whom dwelling is not synonymous with being housed and settled| the search for an answer to this question might lead to a new way of thinking about home and homelessness| exile and belonging. First published by Duke University Press in 1995| At Home in the World is the story of just such a search| chronicling Jackson’s experience among the Warlpiri of the Tanami Desert in Central Australia where he lived| worked and travelled intermittently over three years.
