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.
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.

评分左页 “我敢于预言费孝通博士的《中国农民的生活》(又名《江村经济》)一书将被认为是人类学实地调查和理论工作发展中的一个里程碑。”这是在1939年,这一年,费孝通的博士论文出版,他的导师马林诺夫斯基,为他写下了热情洋溢的序言。作为中国人类学的扛鼎之作,它的出现其...
评分特想问问作者巴利,他在写正经报告和这两部调侃日志时,哪一个更让他费尽心思? 是不是他把那些按照人类学方法论所无法归纳和总结的事实全都放进这两部日志中了。跟我写“市场战略分析”一样,在星巴克坐个大半天,写在纸上给老板看的不知所云,写在心里的一堆客观事实却耗了三...
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“我在恩贡山有一座农场……”,这是凯伦布里克森在《走出非洲》(Out of Africa)里面的第一句话。我去夏威夷的时候,奥巴马的老乡们坚持说他是“俺们的总统”;但阅毕他的自传《我父亲的梦想》(Dreams from My Father),发觉他对于自己肯尼亚亲戚的描述饱含深情;作为人类学...
