Theodora Kroeber presents a richly researched account of Ishi's life — both within his ancestral world and the modern civilisation that suddenly surrounded him — drawing on her husband Alfred Kroeber's anthropological records and first-hand observations from the University of California. Written with compassion and scholarly authority, the narrative illuminates the brutal erasure of California's Indigenous peoples through colonisation while honouring the quiet dignity and resilience of one extraordinary man. The book stands as a profound meditation on cultural survival, loss, and the meaning of humanity, and remains essential reading in Indigenous American history and anthropology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956342108379,"sku":"2026200008366-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/92160c67-61f7-4736-9afd-5a84ac7e5096.png?v=1783499889","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008366-secondhand-ishi-in-two-worlds-a-biography-of-the-last-wild-indian-in-north-america","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
