«Der Papalagi» is Erich Scheurmann's cultural critique, published by Tanner & Staehelin in paperback (123 pages, in German).
The book gathers the speeches attributed to Tuiavii, a fictional Samoan chief who travels through Europe and observes Western customs with bewilderment. The word «papalagi» refers to the white man, and his reflections work as a satire that invites readers to question their own way of life.
The subtitle is «Die Reden des Südseehäuptlings Tuiavii aus Tiavea». The work was originally published in 1920. It includes illustrations by Maxine van Eerd-Schenk.
For readers interested in cultural critique, anthropology, and the perspective of other cultures on modern life.
