In this landmark study, now celebrating thirty years in print, Paul
Rabinow takes as his focus the fieldwork that anthropologists do.
How valid is the process? To what extent do the cultural data
become artifacts of the interaction between anthropologist and
informants? Having first published a more standard ethnographic
study about Morocco, Rabinow here describes a series of encounters
with his informants in that study, from a French innkeeper clinging
to the vestiges of a colonial past, to the rural descendants of a
seventeenth-century saint. In a new preface, Rabinow considers the
thirty-year life of this remarkable book and his own distinguished
career.
