Celebrated American Indian thinker Jack D. Forbes’s Columbus and Other Cannibals was one of the founding texts of the anticivilization movement when it was first published in 1978. His history of terrorism, genocide, and ecocide told from a Native American point of view has inspired America’s most influential activists for decades. Frighteningly, his radical critique of the modern "civilized" lifestyle is more relevant now than ever before.
Identifying the Western compulsion to consume the earth as a sickness, Forbes writes:
"Brutality knows no boundaries. Greed knows no limits. Perversion knows no borders. . . . These characteristics all push towards an extreme, always moving forward once the initial infection sets in. . . . This is the disease of the consuming of other creatures’ lives and possessions. I call it cannibalism."
This updated edition includes a new chapter by the author.

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
