	In the Arms of Africa
		This is a book about Colin Turnbull's public and private lives, and because it is an intimate study it explores some dimensions of experience that biographical subjects or their estates sometimes want to keep confidential.
		To that end, Turnbull arranged all of his and Joe's papers for Joe Towles's future biographer, and wrote a rambling, unedited, one-thousand-page manuscript he called "Lover and Beloved." Ostensibly a history of his relationship with Towles, it is primarily a transcription of Joe's diaries and a record of Joe's efforts to become a professional anthropologist.
		Colin Turnbull donated his private collection of hundreds of African artifacts, ten thousand slides and photographs, tape recordings, videos, and all his field notes to the Avery Center for Research on African American History and Culture at the College of Charleston, South Carolina.

	Mountain People
		Colin Turnbull's "Mountain People" is a chilling narrative of cultural disintegration, the account of a once proud tribe of hunter-gatherers forced off their hunting grounds by misguided government policies.
		Turnbull clearly loves the hunter-gatherer lifestyle and knows what a travesty any attempt to "civilize" these people is. Certainly the history of the Native Americans in our own country is full of examples of the same phenomenon.
		Turnbull does not feel superior to the Ik, but he is bluntly honest with himself and his readers about his pessimistic outlook and his view that the remainder of the Ik culture should be disbanded.

	Is Love A Universally Experienced Emotion?
		Colin Turnbull, an anthropologist with many interesting field-studies behind him, finds himself in the midst of the Ik, (a tribe in Uganda, ousted by the local government from their natural settings and lifestyle) and constantly struggles with his own ethnocentrism.
		Turnbull's golden opportunity arrives, he observes, studies and lives with the Ik; which is almost absolutely essential to grapple with any understanding of the Ik's social processes.
		Turnbull emphasizes the differences of the hunter-gathers and the farmers, "He lives in sympathy with it (the land, nature) rather than trying to dominate it...For the farmer the results of a year's work may be destroyed overnight, where as the most the hunter can lose is what he can replace tomorrow," (Turnbull, 1972, p.

	AnthroNotes Fall 2000 (Grinker)
		Turnbull wrote that old age in Europe and the United States is a "frightening anteroom to extinction," while among the Mbuti it is seen as a time of wisdom, serenity and power.
		Turnbull loved seeing the Mbuti outsmart the villagers, proving to him that those in power are fooled by their own pretenses, and that the imaginary evolutionary schemes of western science were merely self-congratulatory illusions.
		And so, when Turnbull was appointed curator of African Ethnology at the American Museum of Natural History in 1959, he continued his quest for the unpolished gem, and thought he found it in Joseph Towles, a poor, uneducated African American man with whom Colin would live for the next thirty years.

		Colin Turnbull (1924-94) made his reputation with two bestselling works of popular anthropology that tell diametrically opposed tales.
		The love of Turnbull's life was an African American man; he proclaimed Joe Towles's brilliance but was ambivalent about his lover gaining financial independence, and their 29-year relationship was marred by violence and infidelities.
		Though Turnbull idealized the relationship, Grinker reveals that it was marked by violent fights, plus Towles's abuse of drugs and alcohol; he also portrays Turnbull as a domineering partner who pushed Towles into an anthropology career.

	The Forest People Touchstone Book by Colin Turnbull ISBN 0671640992
		This is an account first published in 1961, of a year (1956) spent by the author, anthropologist Colin Turnbull, among a clan of pygmies of the Ituri Forest in northwestern Belgian Congo (later Zaire, now DR of Congo).
		It's fashionable, and all too easy, to pooh-pooh the work of anthropologists living amongst primitive tribes, but the author's done something that none of us have, and for that, and for the obvious love and respect that he felt for the pygmies with whom he lived, the work is worthy of respect.
		Turnbull is "put out" by the sacrilege of his clan using a 15-foot metal pipe for this purpose, which they proceed to demonstrate at first by blowing a "long, raucous rasberry", but is told quite firmly "What does it matter what a molimo is made of?

	The Mountain People by Colin M.Turnbull
		Colin Turnbull was an anthropologist with a special interest in the hunter-gatherer societies of Africa.
		What follows is a narrative of serious non-adaptation as Turnbull shows that the traditional society of loose co-operation for hunting and weak family bonds is insufficient to meet the new challenge that the tribe faces.
		All the same Turnbull does give cases where there is some residual co-operation and more honest individuals move away from the tribe.
