{"product_id":"9781489989628","title":"The Ethics of Anthropology and Amerindian Research: Reporting on Environmental Degradation and Warfare","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe decision to publish scholarly findings bearing on the question of Amerindian environmental degradation, warfare, and\/or violence is one that weighs heavily on anthropologists. This burden stems from the fact that documentation of this may render descendant communities vulnerable to a host of predatory agendas and hostile modern forces. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsequently, some anthropologists and community advocates alike argue that such culturally and socially sensitive, and thereby, politically volatile information regarding Amerindian-induced environmental degradation and warfare should not be reported. This admonition presents a conundrum for anthropologists and other social scientists employed in the academy or who work at the behest of tribal entities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work documents the various ethical dilemmas that confront anthropologists, and researchers in general, when investigating Amerindian communities. The contributions to this volume explore the ramifications of reporting—and, specifically,—of non-reporting instances of environmental degradation and warfare among Amerindians. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollectively, the contributions in this volume, which extend across the disciplines of archaeology, anthropology, ethnohistory, ethnic studies, philosophy, and medicine, argue that the non-reporting of environmental mismanagement and violence in Amerindian communities generally harms not only the field of anthropology but the Amerindian populations themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031676338416,"sku":"9781489989628","price":203.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781489989628_p0.jpg?v=1763655320","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781489989628","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
