"'The Bhil of India provides a window into the daily lives of a Bhil village community in northern India. It gives an insight into the Bhil's feelings about the things development has brought them as well as those things they have lost. With this overturning of the Bhil's way of life, their traditional culture and spiritual beliefs have been discouraged and are in danger of being abandoned. But the Bhil are moving forward, with a determination to have greater control over the way development affects their lives."(Publisher's description). Part of the 'Fighting for Survival Series.'
