Children of the Earth Goddess

Society, Marriage and Sacrifice in the Highlands of Odisha

von Roland Hardenberg
The world is changing with incredible speed towards something radically new, yet people across the globe also show resistance to the forces that homogenize our lives. This book deals with the Dongria Kond, who have found their niche in the Niamgiri mountain range of Odisha (India) and are struggling to preserve their way of life. The reader is confronted with imaginings of familiar human concerns: love, fertility, wealth, status and well-being.
