The interpretation of some documentary evidence on Carib culture
Southwestern journal of anthropology • 5 • Published In 1949 • Pages: 379-392
By: Taylor, Douglas MacRae.
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source is primarily a commentary on the summary of Carib culture presented by Irving Rouse in the HANDBOOK OF SOUTH AMERICAN INDIANS, Vol. 4 (see 5: Rouse). Taylor gives criticisms, corrections and additions to the Rouse article, quoting several of the early writers on the Carib and also citing the culture of the modern day Dominica Carib as authority for his statements. While this article adds little new material to the file, it is an aid in evaluating evidence from other authors who are apparently in disagreement.
