The Conquest of America, the question of the Other, anthropology of the first contact, dialogue, ethnologyAbstract
The article is dedicated to Tzvetan Todorov’s book “The Conquest of America: The Question of the Other” and its reception by anthropologists. In this regard, an episode from the history of anthropology is traced in more detail, in which Todorov is criticized, though he does not respond to this criticism: the debate between Gananath Obeyesekere and Marshall Sahlins.
