Présentation de l'éditeur
British press concerning those possessions in the Pacific, included under the comprehensive title of the Protectorate of New Guinea, it has seemed to me that to shape my voluminous notes into book-form may be of use to future travellers. With that end in view, it also appears desirable to explain that much in these remote islands remains to be discovered. Speculative theories therefore, however tempting the data, have been scrupulously avoided. In the compilation of this work a simple description of conditions, which came under the writers notice, is all that is attempted.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers an insight into the lives of tribal communities amidst the German protectorate of New Guinea, as they existed over a century ago. The author, a well -travelled European, took a keen interest in the cultures of the South Sea Islands and had a chance to spend time observing life in the protectorate. The book details her experiences with daily life there, from a European perspective, and gives an account of the diverse tribes inhabiting the area. These indigenous peoples, each with unique customs and languages, who primarily survived through agriculture, were facing tremendous social and health challenges as a result of their lands being colonised. The writer also highlights an archaeologistâs findings on various indigenous tribes on the island of New Britain. He suggests the existence of an ancient race that predates the current inhabitants. The author provides a rare account of a disappearing way of life and showcases the beginning of a paradigm shift in the protectorate. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
