Baker’s Sinhalese Village Study
[ send me this paper ]
In A Singhalese Village in Sri Lanka: Coping with Uncertainty, Victoria J. Baker is making a case for how the people of Suduwatura Ara, an agrarian society of homesteaders cope with the uncertainty surrounding their lives. In pursuit of this subject, Baker looks at both the macro and micro environment, not only of the people, but also the researcher. She includes a discussion of her fieldwork in 1984-1985 and her return in 1994-1995, how she had to learn the customs and build a house to live in because of the poverty. Poverty is the main thrust of her argument in the case study concerning this particular group of Sinhalese, though her main thrust is how they cope with the persistent uncertainty of losing their homes and livelihoods. 1 work cited. jvSinhal.rtf

Bias in Jody Glittenberg's "To The Mountain and Back" and Dennis Werner's "Amazon Journey"?
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page discussion of the bias which is characteristic of much of anthropological research. While some scientists contend that research can be designed and conducted in such a manner that one’s values, or the values of the subject, do not interfere with the findings; others contend that such research is an impossibility, that individual values are an inherent influence on research. Certainly neither Glittenberg's nor Werner’s approach is value free. No additional sources are listed.
