The Natives are Restless
Idries Shah
The Natives Are Restless chronicles some of the amazing, amusing, and thought-provoking adventures of the Afghan traveller and writer, Idries Shah, among members of what he calls the 'English tribe'. It is an enthralling sequel to his bestselling Darkest England, the narrative illustrating his practised eye as an anthropologist.
Shah observes how the English see themselves, and contrasts it with how the rest of the world views this eccentric island race. He also speculates on the likely continuing effect of Englishness on the future development of global society, offering unsuspecting parallels between English attitudes and Oriental wisdom.
