Innocent Anthropologist: Notes from a Mud Hut
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
When British anthropologist Nigel Barley set up home among the Dowayo people in northern Cameroon, he knew how fieldwork should be conducted. Unfortunately, nobody had told the Dowayo. His compulsive, witty account of first fieldwork offers a wonderfully inspiring introduction to the real life of a cultural anthropologist doing research in a Third World area. Both touching and hilarious, Barley's unconventional story-in which he survived boredom, hostility, disaster, and illness-addresses many critical issues in anthropology and in fieldwork.
