Description

Sometime Kin is the portrait of an Alpine settlement - its history, economy and culture - and its unusual resistance to outsiders and modernisation. Against this we see it embrace the ethnographer's four small children. Sandra Wallman's account reveals the distortion to ordinary life caused by the intrusion of the anthropologist and the effect of informants observing her. Though the fieldwork happened more than forty years ago, the challenges of multi-vocality, the indeterminacy of `truth' and the layers of memory which comprise ethnography apply equally to many anthropological projects.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
