Abstract:
What does a move from a village in the West African rain forest to a West African community in a European city entail? What about a shift from a Greek sheep-herding community to working with evictees and housing activists in Rome and Bangkok? In The Restless Anthropologist, Alma Gottlieb brings together eight eminent scholars to recount the riveting personal and intellectual dynamics of uprooting one & rsquo;s life & mdash;and decades of work & mdash;to embrace a new fieldsite. Addressing questions of life-course, research methods, institutional support, professional networks, ethnographic models
