Book Review: A facinating insight into the world of Colin Turnbull
Summary: 3 Stars

I am studying Anthropology at UEL and one of my set texts is "The forest People" a beautifully written book about Turnbulls feildwork with the BaMbuti pygmies. I would definately say read this book if you are studying Turnbull or just interested in his work as it provides a very useful backdrop of ideas from which to then truely understand his writing
