An austrian missionary, Martin Gusinde, wrote 3 huge ethnographies on the tierra del fuego indians: Selk'nam, Halakwulup and Yámana. Each about 1000 pages.
I tried to find out how european values and discourse are still visible in his judgments about the Selk'nam indians e.g. ideas from dime novels, upcoming hygiene movement or older noble savage ideas.
So it was more a text analysis reflecting on the generation of judgments in cultural contact than an classic ethnographic work.
