1. 1. The Acali Experiment

   

   A gripping account of a controversial 1970s social experiment in which an anthropologist assembled a small group of strangers aboard a raft and isolated them at sea to probe the roots of human aggression; intended as a scientific test of violence, the voyage instead became a volatile study of desire, power, manipulation and group dynamics, exposing how confinement, cultural differences and the researcher’s interventions shaped intimate relationships and conflict and raising profound ethical questions about consent and the practice of social science.
