Product Description
El autor, doctorado en antropologia en Oxford, se dedico durante un par de anos al estudio de una tribu poco conocida del Camerun, lo que constituyo su primera experiencia en el trabajo de campo, y casi la ultima. Nigel Barley se instalo en una choza de barro con la intencion de investigar las costumbres y creencias del pueblo dowayo. Conocia la teoria del trabajo de campo, pero, como descubrio enseguida, esta no tomaba en consideracion la escurridiza naturaleza de la sociedad dowayo, que se resistia a amoldarse a norma alguna. En esta cronica del primer ano que paso en Africa, Nigel Barley tras sobrevivir al aburrimiento y a desastres, enfermedades y hostilidades varias nos ofrece una introduccion decididamente irreverente a la vida de un antropologo social. Despues de esta experiencia, el autor se incorporo al Museo Britanico, cuyo departamento de publicaciones edito este texto como una curiosidad. / With a PhD of Anthropology from Oxford University, this author dedicated a few years to the study of a little known tribe in Cameroon, a project that constituted his first instance of study in the field, and almost his last. Nigel Barley moved into a mud hut with the intention of studying the customs and beliefs of the Dowayo people. He had not counted on the evasive nature of their society, which resisted conformity to any norms whatsoever. In this record of his first year in Africa, Nigel Barley offers us a remarkably irreverent look at the life of a social anthropologist as he tries to survive boredom, disaster, and illness.
