These are the corrections for Forensic Colonialism: Genetics and the Capture of Indigenous Peoples. If you find any errors, please contact me and I will add corrections for them.
Page 45. The following quotation needs a citation (Storto and Vander Velden 2018):
The unauthorized collection of their blood was, therefore, an affront to the Karitiana symbolic conceptions concerning the body and its proper functioning. However, more than this, it amounted to serious moral offence: the Karitiana speak of the tasoty, literally “great men,” not only in terms of physical size but above all in terms of wisdom, thought and work: a “great man” is one who does not “think along one path only,” but “spreads out in all directions,” a man who possesses wisdom and responsibility. In sum, the model of an appropriate and respected social persona: the man who “speaks well to people,” welcomes them readily into his home, does not “tell lies or think and speak badly” of others, and respects the rules of reciprocity, so important to the group. (Storto and Vander Velden 2018).
Page 90-1. Missing citation. The following quotation is from Chakraborty and Kidd (1991, 1738): “In the discussion of the origin and genetic makeup of the Hispanics, LH refer to the allele frequency differences among the Karitiana and Surui of Brazil. It is true that Hispanic is a term used for people that have diverse origins. However, the data on Amazon Basin tribes are not the only considerations. Indeed, the Karitiana represent an extreme example of a small isolated inbred population. No Hispanic group in North America is so small or inbred; whatever tribal structure did exist among their Amerindian ancestors has long since been broken down.” (1738)
Page 102. Missing citation. The following quote from US President George W. Bush is from Neocleous (2013, 20): “We’re at war in a different kind of war. It’s a war that requires us to be on an international manhunt.”
Page 112. The following is incomplete and omits individual idenfication SNP marker research: “After 9/11, Kidd Lab began to receive a steady flow of funding from the US Department of Justice for ancestry informative SNP–related (AISNP) research totalling over US$8.5 million, far exceeding NSF funding.” It should read as “After 9/11, Kidd Lab began to receive a steady flow of funding from the US Department of Justice for ancestry informative SNP–related (AISNP) and individual identification SNP (IISNP) research totalling over US$8.5 million, far exceeding NSF funding.”
Page 115. FROG-kb stands for Forensic Resource/Reference on Genetics Knowledge.
Page 121. Missing Citation. I added the page number. “Therefore, the scientists do not have to travel to other countries nor do they need to negotiate informed consent with Indigenous peoples, collect and transport samples, and so on (Munsterhjelm 2014, 74).”
Page 169. Updated the following sentence, “A pattern of racialized/ethnicized patenting that is intended to differentiate racial and ethnic categories is evident in three granted patents and six patent applications filed by the Ministry of Public Security’s Institute of Forensic Science in Beijing” should actually read as, “A pattern of racialized/ethnicized patenting that is intended to differentiate racial and ethnic categories is evident in seven granted patents and four patent applications filed by the Ministry of Public Security’s Institute of Forensic Science in Beijing”
Page 306. The original Dutch language text for Yves Moreau’s comment from Jannsen (2021) below is incorrect. The correct Dutch Language text follows the English translation of the quotation.
“The very fact that DNA is taken from you is an attack on your identity. The symbolic power you can create with that is like magic. The technology helps create symbolic power relations. People who seem to be much smarter than you have collected data, which is processed in an “objective” way by a computer and then something comes out: like an oracle.” (Janssen 2021)
‘Alleen al het feit dat DNA van je wordt afgenomen, is een aanval op je identiteit. De symbolische macht die je daarmee kunt creëren is als magie. De technologie helpt symbolische machtsverhoudingen creëren. Mensen die veel slimmer lijken te zijn dan jij hebben data verzameld, die worden op een “objectieve” manier verwerkt door een computer en dan komt er iets uit: als een orakel.’ (Jannsen 2021)
