Darkness in El Dorado : how scientists and journalists devastated

The author refutes the macho theories and revolutionary claims of an entire era of anthropology in an explosive account based on more than a decade of research. Tierney explores the hipocrisy, distortions, and humanitarian crimes committed in the name of research, and reveals how the Yanomami´ s internecine warfare was, in fact, triggered by the repeated visits of outsiders who went looking for a "fierce" people whose existence lay primarily in the imagination of the West.
