About this title

About the Author:

JACK D. FORBES (1934-2011) was professor emeritus and former chair of Native American Studies at the University of California at Davis. Of Powhatan-Renápe, Delaware-Lenápe, and non-Indian background, he founded the organization Native American Movement in 1961, and started Native American studies programs across the country. He has lectured around the world and is the author of twelve books.

Review:

"An early text that inspired the start of the anti-civilization movement...Writing from a Native American perspective, Forbes maintains a steady and humble tone throughout the text...It is the kind of history one doesn't need to read twice to absorb it... I think it's crucial that people read books like this.—Razorcake

"Cannibals is a work of philosophy and ideas...A welcome addition to the library of a new generation of scholars and activists who are seeking a philosophical framework for their work in indigenous studies."—American Indian Quarterly
