Life is short and art is long. Unfortunately I have to downsize my library before I’ve had the opportunity to properly review this book. There is actually a lot there. For example an attempt to explain Aboriginal “dreaming”. But sadly, I’m not going to get the chance to read it in full. Based on my very limited reading I give it two stars but it might warrant five if I gave it the necessary time
Like Peoples of the World, covers a selection of cultures from each continent, with more cultures but less pictures.
Anecdotal. Lived among tribes of Central Brazil 1955, 1958.
