The wittiest introduction to the life of a social anthropologist
ever written. Studying in the Cameroons for his first experience of
fieldwork, Barley discovers that the society of the Dowayo people
refuses to conform to the rules of his new discipline. Although set
amongst a little-known tribe in the Cameroons, this slim volume
reaches out to a vast audience who would otherwise never look at a
travel book about West Africa, let alone an anthropological field
study. A seminal text for any student in search of a laugh. Witty,
hilarious and unconventional, but also a remarkable intellectual
achievement; Barley manages to turn the western science of
anthropology on its head, so that for once the laugh is on the
professional practitioners not the observed.
