What is Pygmies and Dream Giants about?

London: Gollancz, 1955. - 295 c. Скан 600 dpi Kilton Stewart plunged into the jungles of Luzon island in the Philippines back in the 1930s, when it was an American colony, back when those jungles harbored isolated mountain tribes of various kinds, many of whom were notorious headhunters. A lapsed Mormon with a great faith in social engineering, he had delved into psychological testing in the US and in Hawaii, (in fact he was asked to leave several locations) and he decided to test the Filipinos to see if they were "up to the human standard". OK, in those days, people still thought like this. Stewart had guts, he loved adventure, he had little money and a lot of chutzpah. He thought nothing of hypnotizing people whose languages he hardly knew and hoping for a therapeutic result. Stewart ate the food, danced the dances, sang the songs, walked the jungle trails, was cured of a dangerous jungle disease, and climbed the enormous rice terraces of Banaue when they were still in full use. He also slept with more than one local girl or I'm a monkey's uncle, but he remained a bit coy about this part of his travels. All the same, the reader can see that he often suffered from culture shock.
