Author: Jackson, Michael,
Title: At Home in the World.
Description: Durham, Duke University Press, 1995. VG in VG DJ. Jackson ponders our century of uprootedness with fewer and fewer people living out their lives where they are born. What. does it mean to be "at home". Over a period of three years, the author intermittently lived, worked, and traveled extensively in Central Australia including being among the Warlpiri of the Tanami Desert. Home becomes a metaphor for the intimate relationship between the part of the world a person calls "self" and the part of the world called "other". Jackson suggests that people everywhere try to strike a balance between closure and openness.
