«Le Papalagui» is the classic of anthropological and social literature by Erich Scheurmann, published in 1975 by Pocket in paperback, in French.
The work brings together the speeches that Tuiavii de Tiavea, a Samoan chief, supposedly addressed to his people after visiting Europe at the beginning of the 20th century. From that foreign perspective, it criticizes the materialism and contradictions of the «white man», the Papalagui, in contrast to the simplicity and connection with nature of his culture.
Intended for readers interested in social criticism, anthropology and the foreign perspective on the West.
