Publisher Synopsis
"Meyerson, an artist by training, has delightfully and unexpectedly provided the single best description of what actual ethnographic fieldwork is like." Choice "I recommend this book to professionals, who rarely capture the essence and emotions of their subjects in their writings; to graduate and undergraduate anthropology students, for the lessons it gives in writing for a general audience; and, to that general audience, who will learn not only about life in 'Tambo, but how anthropology is practiced."
