The Innocent Anthropologist: Notes from a Mud Hut

The Innocent Anthropologist: Notes from a Mud Hut

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, Barleyâ€™s unconventional storyâ€”in which he survived boredom, hostility, disaster, and illnessâ€”addresses many critical issues in anthropology and in fieldwork.
