Summary

Brazilian anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro has been a vital force in anthropology for the past fifteen years. Here in The Turn of the Native, he and his students probe issues pertinent to the future of the discipline in a series of concise and sharp essays. They ask such questions as: Is identity a useful concept, or is it more like a contagious disease? Should we replace the traditional tactics of "othering" with something new? And is the objectification of culture simply cannibalism by another name? This hard-hitting pamphlet captures the fascinating debates emerging in the Brazilian school of "ethno-anthropology."
