Quarterly Essay 24: No Fixed Address
Nomads and the fate of the planet

After many thousands of years, the nomads are disappearing, swept away by modernity. Robyn Davidson has spent a good part of her life with nomadic cultures – in Australia, north-west India, Tibet and the Indian Himalayas – and she herself calls three countries home. In No Fixed Address, she draws on her unique experience to delineate a vanishing way of life.
