- Exoticisation Undressed is the only anthropological monograph on the Emberá of Panama published in the last 30 years. It is based on a large body of data which is difficult to access and collected during a ten-year-long period of research. The critical insights emerging from the analysis were dependent upon the completion of a lengthy period of research with indigenous participants. It makes available insights that combine local perspectives with an analysis of exoticisation, culture commodification and authenticity. The resulting synthesis is complex and multi-layered, and involves creative representational approaches delivered from different perspectives and in relation to different contexts.
