From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Salvage ethnography, the ethnographic methods by which anthropologists conducted salvage anthropology, is the recording of the practices, beliefs, and systems of cultures that were thought to be threatened with extinction as a result of increasing modernization, most popularly practiced in the twentieth century. This notion was in part due to the perceived impacts of colonization and modernization on Indigenous communities as well as societies thought to have little contact with "Western" culture. Since the 1960s, anthropologists have used the term as part of a critique of 19th-century ethnography and early modern anthropology.[1]
