The Chimbu: A Study of Change in the New Guinea Highlands
Description:
1972, trade paperback edition, Schenkman Publishing, Cambridge, MA. 151 pages. Black and white photo gallery. Some very odd things happen in history. In 1933, in a plane flying over the New Guinea Highlands, patchwork gardens were spotted in a valley between two mountain ranges. Believe it or not, this was the discovery of the Chimbu, a group of people who had remained isolated for thousands of years. This society had nothing whatsoever to do with Western "culture." The author, an anthropologist, recognized these survivors as an amazing opportunity to record that civilization. Dr. Brown spent the best part of 15 years involved with these people. Truly fascinating.
