"Jonathan Friedlaender has devoted much of his professional life to
studies of human population variation in Pacific Islanders.. His
collaborator on this memoir of his life and experiences in the
Pacific is Joanna Radin, a young but remarkably knowledgeable
historian of science currently conducting graduate studies at the
University of Pennsylvania. These two professionals weave a
fascinating fabric of complex texture that incorporates the
educational, political, governmental, and research climate of the
1960s, 1970s, and 1980s with the trials and tribulations of a young
researcher and academic trying to make his way in a highly
competitive arena. The book is much more than a series of
recollections about one man's life; rather, it is a history of an
important era in the development of anthropological genetics and
the dramatic transition in this science that took place in the
early 1980s.
Friedlaender's book should have appeal to a number of audiences
- students, professional anthropologists, and lay readers, alike...
Jonathan Friedlaender's Reflections is a valuable addition to the
historical record of this important science. This is a worthwhile
book to read for anyone with interests in the history of science or
the history of a science."
From the Foreword by Professor Michael A. Little, Binghamton
