Kluckhohn, Clyde — The Navaho: Revised Edition (Harvard Paperbacks)

Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Mass. USA, 2002. Reprint, Softcover. As New. 9780674606036 "This book is one of the most successful efforts so far to communicate the results of the anthropological study of one people to another people . the book is not addressed to the specialist in the study of culture . Without resort to dramatization or oversimplification, it should communicate to many kinds of readers the goals and viewpoints of the Navahos." This collaboration between an anthropologist and a medico-psychiatrist has been a fortunate one . This book teaches the salutary lesson that majority culture patterns are not self- justifying ... If we have achieved a greater mastery over the forces of nature than the Navahos, perhaps they have received more by experiencing the beauty and emotional values in nature than we.
