About the Book
The Mountain People by Colin Turnbull is a powerful and thought-provoking anthropological study that examines the lives, survival strategies, and social structure of Uganda’s Ik people. First published to wide academic discussion, this work challenges conventional understandings of community, morality, and human resilience under extreme environmental and social pressures.
In this 1980 Pan Books paperback edition, Turnbull presents a deeply immersive account based on field research, offering readers an intense exploration of cultural breakdown, adaptation, and the complexities of human behavior. Spanning 253 pages, the book blends anthropology with narrative storytelling, making it both academically significant and emotionally impactful.
Though the pages have naturally yellowed over time, the book remains in good reading condition. Its accessible format (19 x 13 cm) makes it suitable for students of anthropology, sociology, African studies, and readers interested in groundbreaking ethnographic research.
