journal-like, refreshing, and enlightening
This book is a refreshing view of an anthropologist's field work in Botswana, as told by renowned anthropologist Hoyt Alverson's wife, who was transplanted, along with her husband and her sons, to what she thought would be a different world. Her insights into life, particularly women's life, in their village and in general remind the reader that people, even in southern Africa, are afterall people.
