The Yanomamo.


The Yanomamo.
A comparison of two works on the Yanomamo people.
650 words (approx. 2.6 pages) | 2 sources | 2002 United States


Paper Summary:

This paper compares and contrasts the views presented in two works and then presents the personal opinions of the writer of this paper as to which work seems the most logical. The two books are Napoleon Chagnon's classic "Yanomamo: The Fierce People", which describes the culture of the Yanomamo and the conflict and the aggression that Chagnon states were common behaviors of the Yanomamo people. The other work is "Darkness in El Dorado" by author Patric Tierney and it argues that Chagnon's portrayal of the Yanomamo is completely erroneous and - worse - fabricated by Chagnon himself.
