The usage of the Yanomami controversyone of anthropology’s most famous and explosive imbrogliosas 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 to be had and an innovative and searching assessment of the present state of anthropology.
The Yanomami controversy came to public attention through the publication of Patrick Tierney’s best-selling book, Darkness in El Dorado, in which he accuses James Neel, a prominent geneticist who belonged to the National Academy of Sciences, in addition to Napoleon Chagnon, whose introductory text on the Yanomami is most likely the most productive-selling anthropological monograph of all time, of serious human rights violations.

A portion of the book is devoted to a unique roundtable in which important scholars on different sides of the issues debate backward and forward with each and every other. This format draws readers into deciding, for themselves, where they stand on the controversy’sand plenty of of anthropology’scentral concerns.
All of the royalties from this book will be donated to helping the Yanomami strengthen their healthcare.
