EXCERPT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The late Emeritus Professor (John) Derek Freeman was such a towering and dominant presence in the study of Austronesian cultures, specifically in his extended fieldwork among the Iban of the Baleh region of Sarawak and the Samoans of Sa\u2019anapu in Western Samoa that his biography by Peter Hempenstall deserves an extended review. I use the term \u201cbiography\u201d as a shorthand. Hempenstall tells us that his work \u201ctakes the biographer\u2019s perspective and the historian\u2019s tools\u201d; Truth\u2019s Fool is \u201cpart biography, part intellectual history, and partly a historian\u2019s appraisal of the controversy that swirled around Freeman\u2019s view of [Margaret] Mead\u2026 from the 1980s into the new century\u201d (p. x). Much of Freeman\u2019s private and domestic life, his childhood, his activities outside of research and writing are not on view in this book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
