Using the Yanomami controversy-one of anthropology's most famous and explosive imbroglios-as its starting point, this book draws readers into not only reflecting on but refashioning the very heart and soul of the discipline. It is both the most up-to-date and thorough public discussion of the Yanomami controversy available and an innovative and searching assessment of the current state of anthropology. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Yanomami controversy came to public attention through the publication of Patrick Tierney's best-selling book, \u003ci\u003eDarkness in El Dorado, \u003c\/i\u003e in which he accuses James Neel, a prominent geneticist who belonged to the National Academy of Sciences, as well as Napoleon Chagnon, whose introductory text on the Yanomami is perhaps the best-selling anthropological monograph of all time, of serious human rights violations. This book identifies the ethical dilemmas of the controversy and raises deeper, structural questions about the discipline. A portion of the book is devoted to a unique roundtable in which important scholars on different sides of the issues debate back and forth with each other. This format draws readers into deciding, for themselves, where they stand on the controversy's-and many of anthropology's-central concerns. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll of the royalties from this book will be donated to helping the Yanomami improve their healthcare.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-3375244\"\u003eRob Borofsky\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.10w x 0.96d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520244047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520244044\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC002010\"\u003eAnthropology | Cultural \u0026amp; Social\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PHI\"\u003ePhilosophy\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PHI005000\"\u003eEthics \u0026amp; Moral Philosophy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Borofsky\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Anthropology at Hawaii Pacific University and the author of \u003ci\u003eMaking History \u003c\/i\u003e(1987) as well as the editor of \u003ci\u003eAssessing Cultural Anthropology \u003c\/i\u003e(1994) and \u003ci\u003eRemembrance of Pacific Pasts \u003c\/i\u003e(2000).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of California Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44580336894189,"sku":"9780520244047","price":49.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_94f39bc8-1d89-408c-832e-dbe7a439d2f4.jpg?v=1702074166","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/es\/products\/yanomami-the-fierce-controversy-and-what-we-can-learn-from-it-9780520244047","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
