This short introductory essay to Julius Lips’s The Savage Hits Back places the book within the context of Malinowski’s own work on “primitive” mentality and, more specifically, his interest in the natives’ critical perspective on European colonizers. Malinowski highlights Lips’s collection of visual materials produced by natives across the globe that depict white men, arguing that these images reveal not only a sense of humor but also a form of ethnographic observation and critique of the colonizers’ behavior and beliefs. He suggests that the natives’ artistic representations offer valuable insights into their understanding of the cultural encounter and their strategies for coping with colonial domination.
