To the Editor:
I strenuously object to the publication of Paul Campos’s “Alice Goffman’s Implausible Ethnography” (September 4).
Its content, filled with innuendo and half-truths, is better suited to a tabloid than to an organ meant to inform on the basis of fact and thoughtful analysis.
What is the point of Campos’s overlong and superficial piece? To dispute the veracity of Goffman’s research. He is entitled to that opinion, but he offers no persuasive evidence. His main objective, it appears, is to discredit, not enlighten.
We’re sorry. Something went wrong.
