A postmodern romp through the rain forest, "Equatoria" is both
travelog and cultural critique. On the right-hand pages, the Prices
chronicle their 1990 artefact-collecting expedition up the rivers
of French Guiana, and on the left, they feature extracts from the
works of Jonathan Swift, Joseph Conrad, Gabriel Garcia-Marquez,
Alex Haley, James Clifford, Eric Hobsbawm, Germaine Greer and even
the noted anthropologist James Goodfellow (who asks for more sex).
Also included are quotes from the nurses, doctors, tourists,
convicts and countless others who live in the French penal
colony-turned-space center in tropical South America. Charged with
acquiring objects for a new museum, the Prices kept a log of their
day-to-day adventures and misadventures, constantly confronting
their ambivalence about the act of collecting, the very possibility
of exhibiting cultures and the future of anthropology.
