When British anthropologist Nigel Barley set up home among the Dowayo people in northern Cameroon, he knew how fieldwork should be conducted. Unfortunately, nobody had told the Dowayo. His compulsive, witty account of first fieldwork offers a wonderfully inspiring introduction to the real life of a cultural anthropologist doing research in a Third World area. Both touching and hilarious, Barley’s unconventional story—in which he survived boredom, hostility, disaster, and illness—addresses many critical issues in anthropology and in fieldwork.
Nigel Barley (born 1947 in Kingston upon Thames, England) is an anthropologist famous for the books he has written on his experiences. He studied modern languages at Cambridge University and completed a doctorate in social anthropology at Oxford University. He held a number of academic positions before joining the British Museum as an assistant keeper in the Department of Ethnography, where he remained until 2003.
Barley's first book, The Innocent Anthropologist, was a witty and informative account of anthropological field work among the Dowayo people of Cameroon. Thereafter he published a number of works about Africa and Indonesia in such genres as travel, art, historical biography, and fiction.
Barley has been twice nominated for the Travelex Writer of the Year Award. In 2002, he won the Foreign Press Association prize for travel writing.

评分书读到一半时,不慎弄丢了。隔了两个月找回来重新读,仍旧喜欢的不得了。之前有人抱怨翻译和作者的人品,书不在手,也没法反驳。现在终有机会。 翻译没有问题,这是比较负责的翻译。作者的英式冷幽默功夫了得,翻译忠实地重现了作者的语气甚至双关语。不得不说台湾编辑的认真,...
评分研究生入学以前,我因成绩不济,被调剂到广西某学校的民族学院学习民族学。家人坚持学习无用,文凭有用的原则,认为如果出国也需要回来,什么也没说,就放心让我从记者转身变成一名民族学家。而我,虽然有大家都懂的崇洋媚外之心,但是想到本人对于中国文字有种狂热的痴迷,无...
评分(这是我06年7月写的文章,虽然不是直接评论这本书,但毕竟有些关系,对人类学有兴趣的人可以看看:) 为什么要去旅行?有一次我这样问自己。想了又想,得出的答案是“旅行是为了见识各地不同的风土人情和感受文化冲突”。因为对我来说人生的意义就在于不断拓宽自己心灵与视野...
评分《天真的人类学家——小泥屋笔记》 英国人类学家巴利的在非洲喀麦隆某部落的考察研究笔记。可以当做充满幽默故事的游记来读。暴笑。 之所以适合旅行人士阅读,因为他多少解构了一把猎奇探险深入不毛等等的考察或旅行,可以让驴们不再事事的自诩怎么艰苦的去荒凉...
