Number of pages:
12
ABSTRACT:
12 pages in length. The concepts of modernization and assimilation are neither foreign nor welcome in myriad global communities touched by Western materialism. Campbell's treatment of the Wayapi in "Getting To Know Waiwai: An Amazonian Ethnography" and Geertz's account of two Indonesian societies in "Peddlers and Princes : Social
Development and Economic Change in Two Indonesian Towns" illustrates the extent to which indigenous populations have been forced to comply with the never-ending progression of globalization, even – and especially – when these particular communities are gravely impacted by the struggles inherent to such development. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
