In this acclaimed book, Torgovnick explores the obsessions,fears, and longings that have produced Western views of theprimitive. Crossing an extraordinary range of fields(anthropology, psychology, literature, art, and popularculture), Gone Primitive will engage not justspecialists but anyone who has ever worn Native Americanjewelry, thrilled to Indiana Jones, or considered buying anAfrican mask."A superb book; andin a way that goes beyond whatbeing good as a book usually impliesit is a kind of gift toits own culture, a guide to the perplexed. It is lucid,usually fair, laced with a certain feminist mockery andanimated by some surprising sympathies."Arthur C. Danto,New York Times Book Review"An impassioned exploration of the deep waters beneath Western primitivism. . . . Torgovnick's readings are deliberately, rewardingly provocative."Scott L. Malcomson, Voice Literary Supplement
