ANTA02H3 Study Guide - Quiz Guide: Dinka People, Guerrilla Warfare, Ethnography
Document Summary
Sharon hutchinson and evans-pritchard were studying the same people, upon reading their ethnographies it might seem that they were studying two different cultures all together. Comparing the essays it"s very clear the different perspectives these anthropologists took. Their approaches are evident in their ethnographies and it"s clear their presence and methods were governed by very different interests. Hutchinson sees the nuer and dinka people as being exploited. Sudan, at the time of her study, the dinka-nuer relationship was no longer a relationship between the two cultures but a warfare influenced by outside forces. Hutchinson speaks of attacks with spears turning into guerilla warfare and raids for cows into slaughter. Using first person narrative she tells the story of the nuer and dinka people and their exploitation by the spla and sudanese government. Hutchinson"s text feels more like a genuine story of the people as she provides specific examples she witnesses while being in the trenches" with the people she studied.
