Gone Primitive: Savage Intellects, Modern Lives Paperback - 1991
by Marianna Torgovnick
First line
They exist for us in a cherished series of dichotomies: by turns gentle, in tune with nature, paradisal, ideal-or violent, in need of control; what we should emulate or, alternately, what we should fear; noble savages or cannibals.
From the rear cover
In this acclaimed book, Marianna Torgovnick explores the obsessions, fears, and longings that have produced Western views of the primitive. Crossing an extraordinary range of fields (anthropology, psychology, literature, art, and popular culture), 'Gone Primitive' will engage not just specialists but anyone who has ever worn Native American jewelry, thrilled to Indiana Jones, or considered buying an African mask.
