A journey undertaken with the Hungarian anthropologist, Dr. Emil Torday, to study the people of the Kasai and Sankuru basins. The authenticity of the information on the Batetela, Bushongo, Bankutu and Bashilele people is assured by Torday’s command of eight local languages and his determination to avoid those natives previously in contact with Europeans.
