Here the author spent a year amongst the Mbuti pygmies of the Ituri Forest in the Congo. These people seem to live two seperate lives. Basicaly they are hunters and gatherers living most of their lives in small mobile groups. Periodicaly they leave the forest to enter the structured society and economy of the neighbouring villages inhabited by the Bantu and Sudanic tribes, only for their own personal gain, like the luxury of tobacco,or a good feast, but they remain seperate people,a nd good neighbourors.A facinating book.
