The Kindred of the Kibbo Kift: Intellectual Barbarians is the first full-length work to explore the innovative cultural production of the English camping and hiking organisation (1920-1932). Founded after the First World War as a reaction to militarism in scouting, Kibbo Kift developed into an all-ages organisation for men and women that attracted the support of a range of high-profile writers, artists, scientists and campaigners from D. H. Lawrence to H. G. Wells. Underpinned by a complex, distinctive philosophy, Kibbo Kift’s practices were wide-ranging, extending across health and handicraft, pacifism and propaganda, myth and magic, education and economics. Illustrated with images of decorated tents, campaign banners, illuminated manuscripts, protest graphics, carved totems and ceremonial attire alongside previously unpublished photographs by Angus McBean
