The Gebusi: Lives Transformed in a Rainforest World, Fifth Edition

By Bruce Knauft

This version of The Gebusi is different enough from previous editions to be not just an updated but a significantly reframed work in relation to front-burner issues in cultural anthropology. These include reflexive awareness in ethnographic writing; gender relations and the subordination of women; postcoloniality; race and ethnicity; and the challenges of government and corruption.Based on fieldwork in 2016 and 2017, this latest edition of The Gebusi blends many new developments with those of the past. Poignant descriptions and reflections by young French cofieldworker Anne-Sylvie Malbrancke complement Knauft's main account-and provide a rich dialogue across subject position and gender in ethnographic writing. In the mix, this vibrant work powerfully documents and critically analyzes key new developments among Gebusi. As such, The Gebusi, Fifth Edition brings the book's compelling story forward while enriching the content structure and engaged portrayals of earlier editionsIn addition to online field video resources, four instructor presentations, and other study materials and resources, the book itself includes 90 photographs-all in color in the e-book edition-that dramatically convey incidents and people portrayed.
