The decision represents a low point in the seesaw trajectory that has turned the ethnographer into a symbol of some of the thorniest dilemmas of academic life.

--Shina,Ethnography was the privileged methodology for colonial intelligence reports and sociologists have adopted it uncritically even as anthropologists reflect on their complicity in the colonial project.Do you think that Princeton University supervisors or the prestigious publishers would have missed this felony if she was an African woman volunteering to drive a gang in search of a white man to murder? I doubt it because colonialism presumes that Black Lives Do Not Matter..If this came out from a Nigerian university, some Nigerians in the Diaspora would start shedding tears for the quality of the educational system that raised us and TEDTalk would not have honored it with a platform, nor would top scholars heap praise on it without reading it in depth.BikoOn Saturday, 8 June 2019, 06:08:30 GMT-4, 'Adeshina Afolayan' via USA Africa Dialogue Series <usaafricadialogue@googlegroups.com> wrote:This is a heavy review that I find quite interesting. I have read about observant participants who became too drawn into their research. But this is quite serious, a researcher who became felonous...wow!But, Oga Biko, I wonder at your subject heading. Why "Colonialism Ethnography Nightmares"? Please enlighten me what is colonialist about either the review or Goffman's unethical practices?Adeshina Afolayan
