This was Darlington's contribution to the 'Peoples of the Earth' series under the general editorship of Edward Evans-Pritchard. Darlington's essay was sent in January 1973 and the volume was published and was 'a noteworthy financial failure'. Material includes correspondence with the original publisher Tom Stacey Ltd and later with William Heinemann Limited. Darlington's attached note bears the legend 'Evans Pritchard died Aug. 1973. Tom Stacey bankrupt Sept. 1973. Heinemann unearthed Sept. 1974'.
