Gr.-8°. Mit 32 Tafeln und 1 mehrfach gefalteten Karte. 303,(5) S. Orig.-Leinenband. Sir Thomas Reginald St. Johnson (1881-1950) war Arzt, Buchautor und Offizier der britischen Armee. Bevor er 1917 in den ersten Weltkrieg eingezogen wurde, verbrachte er 10 Jahre auf den Fidji Inseln, wo er verschiedene administrative Posten innehatte. Nach dem Krieg verschlug es ihn auf die kleinen Antillen, wo er bis zum Ausbruch des zweiten Weltkriegs lebte.Im vorliegenden Buch erzählt St. Johnston von seinen Erfahrungen und Begegnungen mit den Menschen der mikronesischen und polynesischen Inseln. Er liefert einen historischen Überblick über die Besiedlungen, Lebensweisen, Sitten und Gebräuche. Dabei ist er bemüht, den so andersartig lebenden Bewohnern mit Respekt und Neugier zu begegnen. Selbst den Kannibalismus für die europäische Leserschaft gewiss das Kapitel, welches am meisten Unbehagen hervorruft, verurteilt St. Johnston nicht die Stämme (der Inselgruppe der Fidji), die diese Sitten gehandhabt haben. Da mag es vielleicht auch etwas tröstlich gewesen sein, dass as a matter of fact whites were seldom eaten (the natives said, they tasted too salt")"(S.197). Die groben Methoden zur Christianisierung der Inselbewohner der früher angereisten Missionare verurteilt er ebenso wie die Sichtweisen der Regierungsangestellten und Plantagenbesitzer der viktorianischen Zeit auf die polynesische Bevölkerung. Natürlich ist auch St. Johnston ein Kind seiner Zeit und seine väterlich anmutende Art ist aus heutiger Sicht antiquiert: [the natives] can be made good and useful citizens an asset to the Empire and the matter lies in our hands".- Bibliotheks-Exemplar; Einband berieben, beschabt und etwas fleckig; Kapitale, Ecken, Kanten und Außengelenke beschabt und bestoßen; Schnitt gebräunt und stockfleckig; Rückdeckel sowie Spiegel mit Bibl.-Etikett; Vorsätze fleckig; Vortitel gebräunt; Titel sowie Seiten durchgehend mehrfach gestempelt; einzelne Tafeln mit Knickfalten; vereinzelt etwas stock- bzw. fingerfleckig; Karte gering stockfleckif und mit kleinem Einriß am unteren Falz.…
