occasion, and they have
rarely
been better
expressed
than
m
his
diary.
Some emotions, no doubt, have been
expressed
more -
olently by Malinowski than they would be f e l t ~ o r
at
least
,
s ta ted-by
other
anthropologists.
Most
fieldworkers
at
some
time
have
been
bored by
their own inquiries, and have been con
scious of frustration and exasperation against even
their
best
friends in
the
field. Few
may
have been willing to admit this
even to themselves.
Few perhaps except those
as
highly strung
as Malinowski have
cursed
the people they were studying as
heartily as he did.
Yet
this revelation
of
a darker side of the
relation
of an anthropologist
to
his
human material
should
not
mislead us. Malinowski
often
used equally violent language
about
other groups and
persons,
European
and American.
He
had to
explode to get his
irritations
out of his system and it was almost
a point
of honor
with him
not
to repress his feelings or curb his
tongue.
This also should not obscure from
us
Malinowski's own
appreciation of his Trobriand friendships,
of
which the
diary
also makes mention. Few anthropologists too would be prepared
to write with Malinowski's freedom, even as he did
for
his own
eyes alone, of their sensual
lusts
and feelings,
or
to
engage in,
much less set down, such ribald
gestures
as singing to a W agner
melody
the
words
Kiss my
ass to chase
away
flying witches

quently, we get from him new and sometimes unexpected
shafts
of light, though only
in
passing, upon
personalities
known
usually to us only from more formal literature. His thumbnail
sketch of
the now almost legendary figure of Sir Hubert
Murray,
the lieutenant governor
and
apex of the official
pyramid,
seems
to me
very
apt, though his remarks about some
other
acquain

be less just. t
