An Ethnographic Masterpiece,

This review is from: Sanuma Memories: Yanomami Ethnography in Times of Crisis (New Directions in Anthro Writing) (Paperback)
For anyone interested in the ethnology of South America, this book is essential. Although Ramos spent less time among the Yanomami than anthropologists such as Lizot and (the now discredited) Chagnon, hers is the principal work on the Brazilian Yanomami, and is a beautifully written, very philosophical book which not only discusses the culture, but includes some very insightful remarks on the nature of anthropological research. The final chapter describes her exhausting and nearly fatal trip with a medical team to help the malaria-stricken Indians during the Brazilian gold rush. Also an impressive translation by the author.
