More about the book
Intricate detail woven into an interesting narrative characterizes this important, early study of the Dobuans of eastern New Guinea. The book is both a dramatic record of their daily tribal life and an especially rich source of information on primitive psychology. In addition to a precise analysis of the complex tribal organization of the Dobuans, Fortune gives readers the feeling of communal life and lets them come closer to fully understanding the fears, passions, and deep traditional beliefs of these natives.
