Head-Hunters, Black, White, and Brown
1901
Published in 1901, 'Head-Hunters, Black, White, and Brown' by Alfred C. Haddon is an anthropological account of his expedition in 1898-1899 to the Torres Straits and surrounding regions. The book documents the cultures, customs, and rituals of indigenous communities, particularly the Torres Straits Islanders, as Haddon emphasizes the need to preserve traditional knowledge amid rapid social changes. His observations provide valuable insights into the beliefs and social structures of these peoples, making it a significant work in the field of ethnology.
