«Los Papalagi: Los hombres blancos» is the social criticism and anthropology essay by Tuiavii de Tiavea, published by Integral in paperback, in Spanish.
Tuiavii de Tiavea, a Samoan chief, travelled to Europe at the beginning of the 20th century and left in these speeches his bewilderment at money, large buildings or cinema. Gathered by Erich Scheurmann, the speeches contrast the haste and urge to accumulate of the «papalagi» —the white men— with the simple life of Samoa.
Translation by Yolanda Rubiales and illustrations by Joost Swarte.
A work for those interested in anthropology, social criticism and readings on modernity from a non-Western perspective.
