Excerpt from The Ways of the South Sea Savage: A Record of Travel Observation Amongst the Savages of the Solomon Islands Primitive Coast Mountain Peoples of New Guinea The study of the more primitive races of mankind is ever a fascinating one, and no part of the globe now offers greater facilities for its enjoyment than do the islands of the South-West Pacific and New Guinea; indeed New Guinea may almost be regarded as the last stronghold of the savage; for, though it has had many white visitors and is under the government of European powers, and though much has been observed and recorded concerning the people of some of its coast-lines and the low-lying plains behind them, a great part of its mountainous interior still remains a sealed book, which no man has yet attempted to open and read. Some of these mountainous districts, however, which a few years ago could only be penetrated by an organized and strongly armed expedition, are now, thanks in part to the heroic efforts of missionaries, and in part to the gradual inward spread of Government influence and control, becoming approachable by the solitary explorer; and among these is the mountain area of the Mafulu people.

Hunger and Work in a Savage Tribe by Audrey I. Richards Pdf
The force of hunger in shaping human character and social structure has been largely overlooked. This omission is a serious one in the study of primitive society, in which starvation is a constant menace. This work remedies this deficiency and opens up new lines of anthropological inquiry. The whole network of social institutions is examined which makes possible the consumption, distribution, and production of food-eating customs, as well as the religion and magic of food-production.
“In sparkling, seamless prose, Risky Shores offers fresh insights into the cultural encounters between the British and the Melanesians.” —Dane Kennedy, author of Decolonization Why did the so-called “Cannibal Isles” of the Western Pacific fascinate Europeans for so long? Spanning three centuries—from Captain James Cook’s death on a Hawaiian beach in 1779 to the end of World War II in 1945—this book considers the category of “the savage” in the context of British Empire in the Western Pacific, reassessing the conduct of Islanders and the English-speaking strangers who encountered them. Sensationalized depictions of Melanesian “savages” as cannibals and headhunters created a unifying sense of Britishness during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These exotic people inhabited the edges of empire—and precisely because they did, Britons who never had and never would leave the home islands could imagine their nation’s imperial reach. George Behlmer argues that Britain’s early visitors to the Pacific—mainly cartographers and missionaries—wielded the notion of savagery to justify their own interests. But savage talk was not simply a way to objectify and marginalize native populations: it would later serve also to emphasize the fragility of indigenous cultures. Behlmer by turns considers cannibalism, headhunting, missionary activity, the labor trade, and Westerners’ preoccupation with the perceived “primitiveness” of indigenous cultures, arguing that British representations of savagery were not merely straightforward expressions of colonial power, but also belied home-grown fears of social disorder. “A wonderful book: beautifully researched, compellingly written, and vitally important to debates about race relations and agency in the Pacific world . . . The result is an intellectual feast.” —Jane Samson, author of Race and Redemption
