Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Bengt Emmerik Danielsson (6 July 1921, Norrköping Municipality 4 July 1997) was an anthropologist and a crew member on the Kon-Tiki raft expedition from South America to French Polynesia in 1947. Danielsson was born in Sweden in 1921, obtained a Ph.D. in anthropology and was director of Sweden's National Museum of Ethnology for four years (1967 1971). After the Kon-Tiki expedition, Danielsson married in Lima a French woman, Marie-Thérèse, and they decided to settle in Raroia, the atoll on which the raft had made landfall. They stayed there from 1949 to 1952, and in 1953 they moved to Tahiti. His doctoral thesis on the Tuamotus island chain, submitted to Uppsala University in 1955, was published the following year as Work and Life on Raroia. He subsequently wrote many books and scripted many films, becoming one of the world's foremost students of Polynesia. He and his wife were particularly outspoken critics of French nuclear tests at Moruroa and Fangataufa atolls, and of the destruction of Polynesian culture through colonialism. Their daughter Maruia (1952 1972) died from cancer.
