This six-part video tells the story of Bronislaw Malinowski, considered to be the father of modern anthropology. His story is interesting for a number of reasons:
1) his work is important to the development of fieldwork methodology, and 2) recent discovery of his diaries showed him to be arrogant, racist and ethnocentric. This demonstrates that while we all may hold some of these qualities, and likely we do, we can still make important contributions to the study of anthropology.
