O knihe
.. a slave or an old man was seized and carried off to the bush ... what there befell him nobody could tell, but it is certain that a few days later the masked band returned to the village with a finger, a toe, a bit of skin, or some other part of the captive fastened to a pole ..
The American born, Oxford educated anthropologist, Wilfrid Dyson
Hambly (born 1886) lived and worked at a time when missionaries and
other "civilising" influences had not completely destroyed the ways of life
of primitive peoples, and his Tribal Dancing and Social Development, first
published in 1927, remains a major resource in its field.
Hambly surveyed dancing and music as a communal activity and expression
of emotion from the cradle to the grave, beginning with the celebration of
a birth and ending with the dance which follows death - often long after
death, like the dance in the Nicobarese ceremony of disinterring the dead
and collecting their bones.
Hambly casts his net wide: ranging from ancient Egypt and the Inca
civilisations of South America to North American Indians, Zulu Warriors,
and the extinct Aborigines of Tasmania. The result is not only a major
scholarly document, but an enthralling reading experience.
