Reader Reviews
Which is the author's almost racist contempt for every people in the Pacific and India that he visits in the course of his research. I don't think there's a people Polynesia, besides maybe people from Hawaii, that aren't described as savages of one kind or another. The contempt for indigenous cultures oozes from the book, especially when he looks at cultures in places thought to be remnants of Lemuria, contrasting with contempt the ways of life that these present day people have with the supposed lives of the Lemurians. Hard not to exaggerate. I think he actually describes people in some of these islands as people who hunt with spears, in a derogatory way indicating their backwardness. This epithet is usually rendered in British English as "Spear Chucker", a term used to describe indigenous people in Africa. Comment (1) | | (Report this)
