In Search of Autism Amongst the Himba

The Himba people of Northern Namibia are at the center of In Search of Autism Amongst the Himba. In this influential book, Christofer Wärnlöf makes a real contribution to the study of autism and the region's ethnography. Autism is all too often examined only as a product of Western discourse.

Still, Wärnlöf shows that it should be understood much more broadly.
