HUMPING MY DRUM by J.A.Barnes PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION: After a
lifetime of not keeping a diary, John Barnes has reconstructed his
past from a good memory and those few documents that do record his
life and times. His story starts with his childhood in Reading, his
schooldays and undergraduate career. Although six years of war
interrupted his academic progress, they gave him experiences in the
Fleet Air Arm that may have prepared him for the rigors of his
first anthropological fieldwork in Northern Rhodesia. The life of
an academic is seldom smooth and various universities in England
and Australia augmented his scholastic duties with ample tests of
his diplomatic and political skills. In pages crowded with the
names of colleagues, friends, family and rivals, Barnes brings a
social scientist's eye to bear on the disciplines of anthropology
and sociology themselves.
