This book uses controversies as a gateway through which to explore
the origins, ethics, key moments, and people in the history of
anthropology. It draws on a variety of cases including complicity
in "human zoos", Malinowski's diaries, and the Human Terrain System
to explore how anthropological controversies act as a driving force
for change, how they offer a window into the history of and
research practice in the discipline, and how they might frame wider
debates such as those around reflexivity, cultural relativism, and
the politics of representation. The volume provokes discussion
about research ethics and practice with tangible examples where
gray areas are brought into sharp relief. The controversies
examined in the book all involve moral or practical ambiguities
that offer an opportunity for students to engage with the debate
and the dilemmas faced by anthropologists, both in relation to the
specific incidents covered and to the problems posed more generally
due to the intimate and political implications of ethnographic
research.
