and deception. The "science" of the time spoke of its dedication and search for knowledge, all-the-while engaging in a latent agenda that among other things, sought to provide evidence of the superiority of the so-called white race. This book exposes both science and social science as often overzealous and ethnocentric it is fanaticism under the guise of seeking knowledge. A closing chapter summarizing current anthropological investigation, fieldwork, and practice would have been most welcome. One would hope that anthropologists have learned from past mistakes and that clearly established safeguards are in place so that such events could no longer take place. This book provides another startling and unfortunately, very common example of humans' inhumanity to humans. It is instructional in that the underlying, flawed justification and brutality cannot be attributed to some "foreigner" or less enlightened culture. This book is important in that it demonstrates the ability of one inhumanity can often be couched in terms designed to evade responsibility, accountability and judgment--a very sad, ethnocentric version of truth, progress, and scientific investigation.
