«L'antropòleg innocent» is the anthropology chronicle by Nigel Barley, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (240 pages, in Catalan).
In 1978, anthropologist Nigel Barley travelled to Cameroon for his first fieldwork and lived for two years with the Dowayos. From a mud hut he tried to study their customs and beliefs, but the community did not fit the theory. From that experience comes a humorous and irreverent chronicle, with boredom, illness and hostility.
Work published in 1983 as 'The Innocent Anthropologist', first instalment of the eponymous series; this Catalan edition is a translation by Dolors Udina Abelló and belongs to the No Ficció collection.
For readers interested in anthropology, travel writing and humorous memoirs.
Nigel Frederick Barley is a British anthropologist known for his books based on his anthropological field work, which have been treated as travel writing. His first book The Innocent Anthropologist (1983), was an account of field work in Cameroon and was positively reviewed.
