Overview
Who owns ethnographic information? The anthropologist who collects data hoping for an advanced degree, a book, scholarly articles, and/or tenure? Or the indigenous people studied, who recognize not only the value of the material to their own culture, but to the researcher’s career?
Handle with Care presents a broad exploration of a wide array of problems and pitfalls inherent in the practice of anthropology, with particular focus on the question of repatriation of ethnographic materials. Filled with practical, hands-on suggestions, the contributors to this collection ask difficult questions, grapple with key ethical dilemmas, and offer a simple set of recommendations that will change the way anthropologists conduct research.
