Studies of Savages and Sex is a book written by Ernest Crawley that explores the relationship between sexuality and culture among different groups of people around the world. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a specific culture or society, including the Marquesas Islands, the Trobriand Islanders, the Maori of New Zealand, and the Ainu of Japan. Crawley's approach to the topic is anthropological, drawing on his firsthand experiences and observations of these cultures during his travels. He examines the ways in which sexual behavior is influenced by social norms, religious beliefs, and traditional customs, and how these factors vary across different societies. Throughout the book, Crawley challenges Western notions of sexuality and morality, arguing that they cannot be applied universally to all cultures. He also discusses the impact of colonialism and globalization on these societies and how they have affected their sexual practices and beliefs. Overall, Studies of Savages and Sex provides a fascinating and thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between sexuality and culture. It is a must-read for anyone interested in anthropology, sociology, or human sexuality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
