About This Item
London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1974. 2nd Ed.. Hardcover. Hardcover in a lightly worn dust jacket with fading to spine. This revised and expanded second edition, again tackles the question of procreation within the aboriginal tribes. As Ernest Jones said of the first edition (from the rear panel of the dust wrapper) " ... by far the most valuable study among the large literature that has accumulated over the vexed question of whether Australian aborigines are really ignorant of the physiological effects of procreation and whether they are " so to speak " pretending for social and religious reasons to be thus ignorant ". This landmark study was first published in 1937, and this second edition takes into account later fieldwork and new information that became available on the subject. Record # 380327
