Tahitians: Mind and Experience in the Society Islands

Robert I. Levy

Tahitians: Mind and Experience in the Society Islands

This seminal work in several fields-person-centered anthropology, comparative psychology, and social history-documents the inner life of the Tahitians with sensitivity and insight. At the same time Levy reveals the ways in which private and public worlds interact. Tahitians is an ethnography focused on private but culturally organized behavior resulting in a wealth of material for the understanding of the interaction among historical, cultural, and personal spheres.
