New York: Abelard-Schuman, Inc., 1956. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First American Edition. xiv, 241pp, double-page map, 35 b/w photo illustrations, epilogue, index. 8vo/22cm. Maroon cloth gilt, light wear, ex-library marks, otherwise internally fine. An account of an anthropological field work in the Subansiri area of Assam in 1944-45. Christoph von Furer-Haimendorf (1909-1995) was educated in Vienna and London where he came under the influence of Bronislaw Malinowski with whom he first went to India. He served as Advisor to the Nizam of Hyderabad for Tribes and Backward Classes and later became a lecturer at SOAS in London, gravitating to the Chair of Asian Anthropology where he stayed for many years. One of his idiosyncracies observed there was feeling asleep in his own seminars! He was an authority on the tribal peoples of the North East Frontier Agency and Nepal and wrote a number of books on them. Yakushi F139..

Description:
London: John Murray, 1955. Hardcover. xiv, 241p., plentifully provided with portrait and activity photos, hardbound first edition in 9x5.5 inch red cloth boards spine-titled in bronze. This titling is so dim as to be illegible; perhaps dull bronze on medium scarlet was a poor design choice. Lacks the jacket, spine panel faintly grimy, spots of foxing to title page and several adjacent leaves because of something acidic that had been laid in at the half-title, now gone. The bulk of the item is not at all foxed. A good copy. From p.viii: "The expedition described in this book was intended to prepare the ground for the extension of administrative control over a group of little known tribes in the Indo-Tibetan borderlands
