«L'antropòleg innocent: Notes des d'una cabana de fang» is Nigel Barley's chronicle, published by Labutxaca in paperback (240 pages, in Catalan).
In 1978, Nigel Barley, a doctor in anthropology, travelled to Cameroon for his first fieldwork experience, a stay that almost proved to be his last. The author lived for two years with the Dowayo tribe and, despite the boredom, the illnesses and the hostility, wrote a funny and irreverent chronicle about the craft of the social anthropologist.
First title in the series 'The Innocent Anthropologist'. Original English work from 1983, translated into Catalan by Dolors Udina Abelló.
Will appeal to readers of memoirs and travel writing with humour, and to those wanting a light-hearted introduction to social anthropology.
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.
