A compassionate and captivating examination of evolving attitudes toward mental illness throughout history and the fight to end the stigma
Grinker is een antropoloog wiens werk zich verdiept in de complexe dynamiek van mondiale samenlevingen. Zijn onderzoek, waaronder uitgebreid veldwerk in de Democratische Republiek Congo en zijn focus op Koreaanse betrekkingen, biedt diepgaande inzichten in menselijk gedrag en culturele interactie. Via zijn academische posities verkent hij de kruising van antropologie, internationale betrekkingen en menswetenschappen, wat ons begrip van de moderne wereld verrijkt. Zijn aanpak combineert rigoureus wetenschappelijk onderzoek met een diepe waardering voor diverse menselijke ervaringen.


A compassionate and captivating examination of evolving attitudes toward mental illness throughout history and the fight to end the stigma
Ethnicity and Inequality among Farmers and Foragers in Central Africa
This is the first ethnographic study of the farmers and foragers of northeastern Zaire since Colin Turnbull's classic works of the 1960s. Roy Richard Grinker lived for nearly two years among the Lese farmers and their long-term partners, the Efe (Pygmies), learned their languages, and gained unique insights into their complex social relations and ethnic identities. By showing how political organization is structured by ethnic and gender relations in the Lese house, Grinker challenges previous views of the Lese and Efe and other farmer-forager societies, as well as the conventional anthropological boundary between domestic and political contexts.
