About
✝️ Catholic Star Rated Review ⭐⭐⭐✰✰ (3/5 Stars) Giovanni Battista Cerruti’s My Friends the Savages recounts his years of exploration and cultural encounters in Borneo, written with the fascination and curiosity of a European traveler of his era. While the memoir offers historical insights into indigenous life, it also reflects the biases and limitations common to colonial-era writings. From a Catholic standpoint, Cerruti’s descriptions sometimes lack appreciation for the dignity of native peoples as bearers of the divine image. Nevertheless, the work presents opportunities for reflection on evangelization, cultural respect, and the need to view all peoples as brothers and sisters in Christ. Interesting as a historical travel account, but approached best with discernment.
