Turnbull, Colin M. (Author).

Summary:

"The Forest People, a study of the BaMbuti Pygmies of the Congo, has become a classic work in the finest tradition of literate anthropology. Its author, Colin M. Turnbull, is a young anthropologist...who lived among the BaMbuti for three years, not as a clinical observer from the outside world, but as a friend, learning their customs and sharing their daily life. In this celebrated account, he describes their hunting parties and nomadic camps, their love affairs and ancient ceremonies..." --Cover.
