Synopsis
A comprehensive treatment of a tribal society written by Professor Firth after a year of field work on the small Pacific Island of Tikopia in the 1920's, at a time when these Polynesian people were almost untouched by Western civilization. The religious, familial, political, economic and cultural features of Tikopian tribal organization are covered in fascinating detail. "We, The Tikopia is considered one of the great descriptive classics of modern anthropological literature, and its usefulness increases year by year. In this book Firth makes an outstanding contribution to the understanding of kinship and primitive economics." Douglas Oliver, Harvard University
