Abstract:
Klappentext: This study addresses identity and ethnicity, through a detailed study of a little-known group in Cura ao with an intriguing history. It asks readers to take a broad perspective on the contexts that play a role in ethnicity - including, for example, ecology, history, kinship, commerce, and language use in everyday life and, crucially, rituals. Each chapter includes an extensive description of a selected ritual practice, either sacred or secular, in order to illustrate its theme. Finally the author conducts a reflective inquiry into the research ethics of anthropologists. Benjamin suggests that fieldwork is relational as much as scientific, involving subjectivity, power differences and trust.
