Descrizione

Einband minimal nachgedunkelt und mit kl. Einri� ansonsten sehr gut. - Englisch. - Aus der Afrika-Sammlung / Bibliothek von Dr. H. J. Kolo� V�lkerkunde-Museum Berlin. - Primitive Tribes of South America; Australia; Melanesia; Polynesia; Micronesia; Indonesia; Africa. // On the ground floor of the Ethnographical Department the itinerary began with the Polar tribes, followed by the various forms of American Indian culture; for reasons of space, however, the exhibits had to stop at the ancient civilized nations of Peru. On the first floor the commencement is in direct continuation, beginning with the more primitive tribes in eastern South America. From there the visitors cross the sea to Australia and the island world of the Pacific, thence to Indonesia and, with Madagascar as an intermediary stage, on to Africa, where the forms of culture are followed from south to north. At the Mediterranean comes the boundary to the civilized nations proper, from which the collections are on view on the Second Floor. The common-Islamic urban culture will be found there, whereas only the ruder peasant and nomad communities are represented in conjunction with the rest of Africa. Thus the first floor chiefly has to do with the primitive tribes of the tropical regions. This, however, must not be taken too strictly. There are tribes whose habitat lies far beyond the tropics, and there are others - take the Javanese alone - who are far above the level of uncivilized peoples; but it was necessary to include them in order not to interrupt the cultural sequence which it is the purpose of the Museum to depict. Generally speaking, however, the term "primitive tribes of the tropics" is a valid one, nor is it entirely accidental that these words can be merged into one concept � (S. 5)
