A detailed and interesting anthropological study of the various peoples and tribes which make up the region we refer to as "The Congo." Necessarily presented in a rather sensationalist and at times less than respectful way, it nevertheless embarks upon a journey of research and scholarship and completes it creditably; doing away with a number of preconceived beliefs about the region and contributing to the body of contemporary knowledge.
