Savage Harvest: A Tale of Cannibals, Colonialism, and Michael Rockefeller's Tragic Quest for Primitive Art by Carl Hoffman
3.0
The very idea of cannibalism is truly foreign to most first world people. This book shares a true example that pits ultimate power and wealth (the Rockefellers ) against a primitive community in Indonesia.
There were actually a couple of factors that I had never considered in why and how this practice took place. The most intriguing one is of survival and not from positioning for strength, but in having humans be a source of fat and protein where there is little more than fruits and small fish and crustaceans to eat. The brain is one source from a large animal that, even when taboo, might need to be considered as sustenance.
I do now need to see the art pieces collected by the man who was eaten that are housed in a museum in New York, some of which practically foretell this murder.
