Readings:
Patrick Tierney, Darkness in El Dorado
Assignment:
Post whatever you want about the Tierney book. I would ask you, for this posting, not to go searching in other people's opinions, which is what we'll be doing for the next class. Here I want to see your reactions, based on your reading and knowledge of Chagnon and his work.
In class:
1st hour: Keep talking about the Tierney book and the issues it raises
2nd hour: I'll try to set out some guidelines for examining the reaction to the book and the whole ruckus it set off.
