Book excerpt: This intimate study portrays the hunter-gatherer Mbuti pygmies of Zaire. Kevin Duffy describes how these forest nomads, who are as adapted to the forest as its wildlife, gratefully acknowledge their beloved home as the source of everything they need: food, clothing, shelter, and affection. Looking on the forest in deified terms, they sing and pray to it and call themselves its children. With his patience and knowledge of their ways, Duffy was accepted by these, the worlds smallest people, and invited to participate in the cycle of their lives from birth to death.

Book Synopsis The Forest People by : Colin Turnbull
Download or read book The Forest People written by Colin Turnbull and published by Random House. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Forest People is an astonishingly intimate and life-enhancing account of a hunter-gatherer tribe living in harmony with nature -- and an all-time classic of anthropology. For three years, Colin Turnbull lived with an isolated group of Pygmies deep in the forest of the African Congo, experiencing their daily life first-hand. He attended their hunting parties and initiation ceremonies, witnessed their music and their rituals, observed their quarrels and love affairs. He documented them as an anthropologist but was accepted among them as a friend. A ground-breaking work in its time, The Forest People made him one of the most famous intellectuals of the 1960s and 1970s. It remains a transporting account of an earthly paradise and of a legendary and fascinating people. With a new foreword by Horatio Clare.

"[T]heir eyes had an untameable wildness about them that struck me as very remarkable." - French-American explorer Paul du Chaillu, 1867 The indigenous Africans known as pygmies have interested outsiders for thousands of years. In the 2200s B.C., the Egyptian Pharaoh Pepi II referred to one as a "dancing dwarf of the god from the land of spirits," and the Ancient Greeks were also familiar with them. Homer makes mention of pygmies in The Iliad, and Herodotus recounted the experiences of a Persian explorer who encountered "dwarfish people, who used clothing made from the palm tree" on the western coast of Africa. In fact, the term pygmy comes from the Greek word for "dwarfish." Not surprisingly, foreigners' interest in pygmies has never waned. When medieval Europeans first traveled to Africa and parts of Asia, many of them were stunned when they encountered people who were considerably smaller than the average height. Perhaps the most famous account comes from the legendary Marco Polo, who was so confused about the people known as pygmies that he refused to believe they were actually human. In his famous account, Marco Polo wrote about seeing some of them in Indonesia, "I may tell you moreover that when people bring home pygmies which they allege to come from India, 'tis all a lie and a cheat...for nowhere in India nor anywhere else in the world were there ever men seen so small as these pretended pygmies." Marco Polo believed that the pygmies were actually monkeys that people manipulated and shaved to resemble smaller people. Today, of course, anthropologists know a lot more about the pygmies, a collective of indigenous groups in Africa who are still defined by the fact that they have an average height of less than 5 feet tall. But while their short height and their apparent evolutionary differences make for a source of fascination in modern times, their very visible physical differences made it that much easier for foreigners to justify military conquest. Scholars believe that prior to European invasion, the pygmies occupied a significant swath of land across and numbered in the hundreds of thousands. Ultimately, however, external forces have resulted in the groups dwindling in numbers and being dispossessed of much of their traditional homelands. In the 21st century, the Mbuti, one of the prominent groups of pygmy peoples, and who once numbered about 150,000, now number about 40,000 and are centralized primarily in the Ituri Forest of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly Zaire), a tropical rainforest covering less than 25,000 square miles. Civilizations of Africa: The History and Culture of the Mbuti (Pygmy) comprehensively covers the history and culture of the people, from their origins to the present time. Along with pictures and a bibliography, you will learn about the Mbuti like you never have before, in no time at all.

Book Synopsis The Forest People by : Colin Turnbull
Download or read book The Forest People written by Colin Turnbull and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1968 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic work describes the author's experiences while living with the BaMbuti Pygmies, not as a clinical observer, but as their friend learning their customs and sharing their daily life. Turnbull conveys the lives and feelings of the BaMbuti whose existence centers on their intense love for their forest world, which, in return for their affection and trust, provides their every need. We witness their hunting parties and nomadic camps; their love affairs and ancient ceremonies -- the molimo, in which they praise the forest as provider, protector, and deity; the elima, in which the young girls come of age; and the nkumbi circumcision rites, in which the villagers of the surrounding non-Pygmy tribes attempt to impose their culture on the Pygmies, whose forest home they dare not enter.
