description [...]of the 1969 eruption, three villagers who remained in their locality were killed. Contrary to Margaret Mead, who argues, in an article which appeared in 1970, that maintaining 'tribal cultural traditions' is pure 468 PE. de Josselin de Jong sentimentality (210), Schefold argues that the Mentawai have greatly benefited by modern medicine's fight against disease, but als0 that they live in a meaningful, smoothly running culture, which perhaps offers them more variegated opportunities than a western culture offers its participants. Because al1 this brings the local economy into contact with Indonesia as a whole, with minima1 disruption of the Mentawai culture and its environment, I have dealt with it at some length in the present review article. [...]the contents of this volume appear to me to be of high value not only for scholarship, but als0 for teaching purposes.
