Ours is a century of uprootedness, with fewer and fewer people living out their lives where they are born. At such a time, in such a world, what does it mean to be "at home?" Perhaps among a nomadic people, for whom dwelling is not synonymous with being housed and settled, the search for an answer to this question might lead to a new way of thinking about home and homelessness, exile and belonging. At Home in the World is the story of just such a seach. Intermittently, over a period of three years, Michael Jackson lived, worked, and traveled extensively in Central Australia. This book chronicles his experience among the Walpiri of the Tanami Desert.
