A biting critique of how tribal peoples are being destroyed in the name of ‘development’
is being launched by Survival. “There you go!” by Oren Ginzburg is a short but powerful
cartoon book, retailing at £4.
The launch of the book, There you go!, marks the 
start of a major new campaign to highlight how the concept of development is often
used to justify the dispossession of tribal peoples. It will be sent to every UK
MP and peer, as well as to schools and universities.

With vivid drawings and wry humour, the book depicts two executives arriving in 
a remote tribal community and imposing a ‘Multi-Stakeholder Cross-Disciplinary Integrated
approach’. The effects are to leave the tribal people landless, squatting on the
edge of a city.

Survival’s director Stephen Corry said: “In my 33 years with Survival, I have not
come across anything else that hits the bull’s eye with such simplicity, accuracy
and irrepressible humour. Today the subject of tribal peoples and development is
saturated with words, but if you really want to understand what’s going on, read
this book.”

The author and illustrator of the book, Oren Ginzburg, has spent the last ten years
working in international development. A small percentage of funds raised from the
book will go to the author, with the remainder going to fund Survival’s campaigns
for tribal peoples’ rights.

In addition there is a form at the back of the book for people to set up a standing
order or make a one-off donation to Survival.

Another form on the back page of the book asks the reader if they know anyone – 
friend or policy maker – whom they think ought to receive the book. In return for
a £5 donation sent with the form, Survival will then send it to the person they 
suggested.

The book is also available on Survival’s website in slideshow format.
