Book Description Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. Slight foxing to edge. Slight shelf wear to top edge. When in February 1973, the author was expelled from New Guinea by the Indonesian Administration, allegedly for marrying a tribal chief for the purpose of studying primitive sexual practices, the story was told in headlines all over the world. Now here is the author's own vivid account of the months she spent among the Dani, a stone-age people who live in the remote Baliem Valley of Western Irtian, the western half of the island of New Guinea. Living with them, she acquired a very intimate knowledge of their behaviour, folk history and religion. She came to know many of them as sharply differentiated individuals and, of course, she was remarkable to hem. Her expulsion, Wyn Sargent believesm was due more to the fact that she was a white witness to the increassing savagery of the police to the villagers, than to the official complaints made against her. Illustrated. 302 pp. ( We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.).
