Total price with shipping, checked on 6 October 2026.An account of Nigel Barley's first fieldwork. Trained in anthropology at Oxford, he settled in a mud hut in Cameroon to study the Dowayo people. Published in 1983, halfway between travel writing and an ethnographic diary, it tells with irony everything the theory had not taught him: the misunderstandings, the illnesses, the boredom and how hard it is to get an honest answer.



Written with the help of AI from todostuslibros and Wikipedia, without giving away the ending, and reviewed by a person.
