Article: "The Nicobar Islands: Linking Past and Futures" by Phillip Steger

************

New publication: "The Nicobar Islands: Cultural Choices in the Aftermath of the Tsunami"

"The Nicobar Islands" by Simron Jit Singh, published by Oliver Lehmann, is a first extensive collection of photographs showing the life and rituals of the Nicobarese prior to the Tsunami. It also gives insights into the living conditions the Nicobarese have to face after the destruction of the Tsunami. The Austrian President Heinz Fischer handed over the newly published book to a group of Nicobarese leaders during their stay in Austria in September 2005.

The book is bilingual (English/German) and can be ordered from Czernin Verlag, to whom we express our gratitude for donating the profit of the book sales to the SIF Fund.
