Excerpt from The Essential Kafir It may be well to point out that no single tribe has been singled out and isolated in the description of the Essential Kafir. Details have been taken from the various tribes in as far as their combination was thought to throw into relief the genius or spirit of the Kafir. The portrait presented is a composite one. Therefore, if a person who is living among a special tribe finds that the details of some custom are not in accordance with those familiar in that tribe, he must remember that there is great variation to be found among the many tribes which go to make up the generic Kafir. In no single tribe can all the customs mentioned be found in full swing. Some of the customs were long ago obsolete, and others have undergone great modification through the influence of Europeans.
