Review
Margaret Mead
Adds an entirely new dimension to literature on primitive people. The book is constructed with great dexterity, so that the reader is carried along by the charm and movement of the narrative, almost unaware of the underpinning of arduous scientific field work that lies like bedrock below....The reader feels sheer delight in an entirely new world.
From the Foreword by Harry L. Shapiro
Department of Anthropology, American Museum of Natural History
The book is exceptional....The reader can enter into...the exhilaration of participating in a culture other than his own....Reading "The Forest People" is an unusual and satisfying experience.
