THE CULTURE BANDWAGON.
- Authors
Pagel, Mark
- Abstract
The author discusses a tribe of nomadic pasoralists called the Gabbra who live in a hot, dry, remote and barren region of Northern Kenya known as the Chalbi Desert. He informs on how he discovered a tribal man named Dido who could speak five languages in addition to his native Gabbra. He discusses how the most salient features of life in human societies is the sense of belonging to a particular cultural group to which people feel a surprising and alarming attachment and allegiance.
