Valeri, Valerio THE FOREST OF TABOOS : Morality, Hunting, and Identity Among the Huaulu of the Moluccas
Madison University of Wisconsin 2000 Paperback Fine with no dust jacket
15 x 23 cm.; pg. xxiii, 509 ; Lists of 20 black-and-white photos and 4 maps, introduction by Janet Hoskins, preface, notes, bibliography, index. "This eloquent and profound book...contends that the ambivalence felt by all humans about sex, death, and eating other animals can be explained by a set of coordinated principles that are expressed in taboos. In elegant prose, Valeri evokes the world of the Huaulu, forest hunters of Indonesia. He shows that the hidden attractions of the animal world, which invades the human world in perilous ways, delineate what the Huaulu regard as the most human about themselves.
