The Innocent Anthropologist
By Nigel Barley
The funniest book about anthropology that has ever been written. A modern classic to interest and delight all ages. 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. Witty, hilarious and unconventional, but also a remarkable intellectual achievement, for 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.
