Scholars, especially Napoleon Chagnon, have portrayed the Yanomami
as fierce people. Yanomami themselves resent that portrayal and
state that they are no more fierce than those who label them.
Moreover, a number of scholars argue that such a portrayal has had
dire consequences for these Indian people. Governments and their
subjects tend to regard them as primitive and not really part of
their citizenry. Recent quarrels between the Salesian missionaries
and Napoleon Chagnon have highlighted this debate. This book
examines this dispute in detail and presents the views of the
Salesians, New Tribes, and the Yanomami in response to outsiders'
interpretations.
