Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The field-work for this book was done by Gorer in the
company of John Morris (for his description of the Lepcha see 2: Morris). As a result of
observations made in common, and the relatively small size of the village studied, there is
some overlap in the data presented, particularly about given individuals. Gorer's work is
oriented toward personality and culture, with particular attention paid to aggression. The
book contains data on buildings, food-getting activities, religions, the life cycle,
kinship, government, and mythology of the Lepcha.
