From the publisher

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.

"This is a unique addition to anthropological literature. . . . No review could substitute for reading it."-Margaret Mead, American Anthropologist

First line

It is necessary to present a sketch of the setting and the community life and culture which serve as a context and background for the concerns of this study.
