About This Item
"As usual the distinguished anthropologist displays a stunning intuition illumined by anecdotes drawn from her lifelong fieldwork, but also, as usual with intuitionists, you find you want to ask more pointed questions as you read, pick a hole in an argument here or there and finally ask who are the teachers from whom the young are learning if they are to teach the old." This is a lovely book: Black cloth over boards with gilt print on spine and front board; 91 pages; tight binding - no reader's crease or page separation; corners are square and sharp; no external or internal marks; no chips, tears or creases in the book; dust jacket displays light tanning - now protected by archival brodart wrapper; text block is bright and clean; first edition.
