Description

Explore the realities of ethnographic research with The Bamboo Fire: Field Work with the New Guinea Wape. Published by Routledge, this text provides a deep look into the methods used in anthropology. Unlike laboratory sciences that rely on controlled settings, anthropology seeks to understand life experience in its natural environment. This work examines the lives of the Wape people in Papua New Guinea. By observing how they organize their lives through thought and action, the text illustrates the necessity of long-term settlement to gain true insight. Readers can learn about the sedentary village life of the Wape as they inhabit their mountainous rain forest home. This book serves as a primary look at the difference between experimental science and the observational nature of social sciences.
