Strange Peoples

Strange Peoples

by Frederick Starr

Frederick Starr's 'Strange Peoples' is a collection of ethnographic descriptions from various cultures around the world, compiled in the late 19th century. The book offers insights into the diverse customs, beliefs, and practices of different societies, reflecting the anthropological and cultural perspectives of the era. While valuable for its historical context, the text contains outdated and offensive terminology, including the use of racial slurs. It serves as a historical document reflecting the limitations of earlier anthropological understandings but should be approached with critical awareness and a recognition of its problematic language.
