Resistance Radio

James Van Lanen has spent nearly two decades as a professional anthropologist studying and working with indigenous hunter-gatherers on three continents. James is also an active subsistence hunter, fisher, and forager, extensively involved in the material arts of rewilding and bushcraft, mostly off-grid in the far north. He currently works as a Wildlife Technician for Alaska's Wood Bison Restoration Project and as an Environmental Specialist for the Yukon River Drainage Fisheries Association, a tribal NGO focused on salmon conservation. Human Rewilding in the 21st Century is his first book. He is currently working on three other books surrounding anthropology and the crisis of civilization. Some of his previous writings have appeared in the journal Hunter-Gatherer Research, Human Ecology, Oak Journal, Black and Green Review, and Wild Resistance.
