Assault on Paradise ReviewI really enjoyed Assault on Paradise, because of the author's honesty in telling the story of the ecological degradation and the social benefits of the changing of Arembepe. Kottak presents himself as a man, not some untouchable holier than though scholar.
Assault on Paradise explores the social and ecological changes of the fishing village of Arembepe, Bahia Brazil. Paying attention to the changes in Arembepe values toward attitudes of work, economic inequality, and division of labor, fishing, tourism, and manufacturing labor. It explains social networks, the nature of family life, friendships, and work groups. The main forces that brought about change were the introduction of new technologies, the motorization of the fishing industry, industrial pollution, the growth of Arembepe due to a paved highway, the ippi invasion and tourism.Assault on Paradise OverviewThis is a revision of a highly readable, instructive, and entertaining ethnography for use as a supplemental text in introductory anthropology courses.The text chronicles the rapid social and economic change in Arembepe, a Brazilian coastal fishing village, where the author conducted anthropological fieldwork from 1962 to the present.This revision brings his research up to date with events that have occurred in this community in the 1990's, focusing primarily on the impact of modernization, technology and mass media.This ethnography can be used on its own, or in conjunction with any introductory anthropology text, but works particularly well with, Mirror for Humanity, 2/e (1999) also by Conrad Kottak.The coinciding publication of these two books offers professors the chance to give their students a brief text by a leading anthropologist, along with his most successful ethnography.
