Bøker av Herbert S. Lewis

The critique of twentieth-century American anthropology often portrays anthropologists of the past as servants of colonialism who "extracted" information from indigenous peoples and published works causing them harm. Herbert S.

This volume presents powerful refutations of the accumulated damaging myths about anthropology's history.

This book portrays aspects of the life of a community of over 1,200 Jews who were either born in Yemen, or who were, in 1975-77, the young sons and daughters of immigrants from Yemen. It contains implications for the important and currently debated topic of ethnic integration in Israel.

This book argues that the history and character of modern anthropology has been egregiously distorted to the detriment of this intellectual pursuit and academic discipline
