A compassionate and captivating examination of evolving attitudes toward mental illness throughout history and the fight to end the stigma
Grinker je antropológ, ktorého práca sa ponára do zložitých dynamík globálnych spoločností. Jeho výskum, vrátane rozsiahleho terénneho výskumu v Demokratickej republike Kongo a zamerania na kórejské vzťahy, ponúka hlboké poznatky o ľudskom správaní a kultúrnej interakcii. Prostredníctvom svojich akademických pozícií skúma prienik antropológie, medzinárodných vzťahov a humanitných vied, čím obohacuje naše chápanie moderného sveta. Jeho prístup kombinuje prísne vedecké skúmanie s hlbokým ocenením rôznych ľudských skúseností.

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.
