One of the world's top anthropologists recounts his formative
experiences doing fieldwork in this accessible memoir ideal for
anyone interested in anthropology. Drawing on his research in five
Latin American countries, Steve Gudeman describes his
anthropological fieldwork, bringing to life the excitement of
gaining an understanding of the practices and ideas of others as
well as the frustrations. He weaves into the text some of his
findings as well as reflections on his own background that led to
better fieldwork but also led him astray. This readable account,
shorn of technical words, complicated concepts, and abstract ideas
shows the reader what it is to be an anthropologist enquiring and
responding to the unexpected. From the Preface: Growing up I
learned about making do when my family was putting together a
dinner from leftovers or I was constructing something with my
father. In fieldwork I saw people making do as they worked in the
fields, repaired a tool, assembled a meal or made something for
sale. Much later, I realized that making do captures some of my
fieldwork practices and their presentation in this book.
