Klappentext Anthropologists have long sought to extricate their work from the policies and agendas of those who dominate--and often oppress--their native subjects. Zusammenfassung Examines how Taiwanese realities have been represented - and misrepresented - in American social science literature, especially anthropology, in the post-World War II period. This book traces anthropologists' complicity in the domination of a Taiwanese majority by a Chinese minority and in its obfuscation of social realities. Inhaltsverzeichnis I. Introductory Material 1.
