The study of worldviews marginalized by mainstream modernity is an eminently important undertaking. It helps us better recognise,
cherish and keep the values of traditions and practices that exist. This is important, when the uniform vision of the world heaped
on us from the medias, modernist political movements and ideologies, revealed itself as unreal and fake, rendering it evident that
the modern utopia of enlightened rationality is just a delirious nightmare. – Árpád Szakolczai, Professor of Sociology, University College Cork
This book fosters dialogue on critical problems faced by endangered indigenous cultures and marginalised communities. The ethos is
collaborative and comparative describing the implications for global society of the destruction and impoverishment of human and
ecological cultural diversity.
