Overview
(Note: Rare title. Direct orders preferred & guaranteed.) Add $3.00 S&H to: The Pygmy Press, P.O. Box 359, New Hope, PA 18938. "As a child, the author experienced an epiphany - while scouting for arrowheads along the Delaware River - that propelled him to go off to live with the pygmies of the Ituri Forest in Zaire at the tender age of 19....(Bone) got more than he bargained for. Taken from his diary entries & letters to his family, GOING NATIVE is a renegade account of the truth behind anthropological experiences. (He) bluntly chronicles his misery: severe cultural shock, illnesses, loneliness & alienation. He struggles to adjust to new foods & customs, fights back when he feels that he's being taken advantage of & frets about not accomplishing anything. He considers quitting, but stays & gradually adapts, developing insight into the lives of the villagers & pygmies. He realizes that he has sent himself on a 'journey of initiation into manhood.' Bone, outspoken & irreverent, deflates the puffery of academic anthropology while telling a first-rate autobiographical, coming-of-age adventure story. A uniquely honest volume that is a real find for the public library audience."--Booklist - American Library Association.
