Eating Soup Without a Spoon
Author: Jeffrey H. Cohen
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 1477307826
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Significant scholarship exists on anthropological fieldwork and methodologies. Some anthropologists have also published memoirs of their research experiences. Renowned anthropologist Jeffrey Cohen’s Eating Soup without a Spoon is a first-of-its-kind hybrid of the two, expertly melding story with methodology to create a compelling narrative of fieldwork that is deeply grounded in anthropological theory. Cohen’s first foray into fieldwork was in 1992, when he lived in Santa Anna del Valle in rural Oaxaca, Mexico. While recounting his experiences studying how rural folks adapted to far-reaching economic changes, Cohen is candid about the mistakes he made and the struggles in the village. From the pressures of gaining the trust of a population to the fear of making errors in data collection, Cohen explores the intellectual processes behind ethnographic research. He offers tips for collecting data, avoiding pitfalls, and embracing the chaos and shocks that come with working in an unfamiliar environment. Cohen’s own photographs enrich his vivid portrayals of daily life. In this groundbreaking work, Cohen discusses the adventure, wonder, community, and friendships he encountered during his first year of work, but, first and foremost, he writes in service to the field as a place to do research: to test ideas, develop theories, and model how humans cope and react to the world.

The Journey of a Tzotzil-Maya Woman of Chiapas, Mexico
Author: Christine Eber
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292742487
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Most recent books about Chiapas, Mexico, focus on political conflicts and the indigenous movement for human rights at the macro level. None has explored those conflicts and struggles in-depth through an individual woman's life story. The Journey of a Tzotzil-Maya Woman of Chiapas, Mexico now offers that perspective in one woman's own words. Anthropologist Christine Eber met "Antonia" in 1986 and has followed her life's journey ever since. In this book, they recount Antonia's life story and also reflect on challenges and rewards they have experienced in working together, offering insight into the role of friendship in anthropological research, as well as into the transnational movement of solidarity with the indigenous people of Chiapas that began with the Zapatista uprising. Antonia was born in 1962 in San Pedro Chenalhó, a Tzotzil-Maya township in highland Chiapas. Her story begins with memories of childhood and progresses to young adulthood, when Antonia began working with women in her community to form weaving cooperatives while also becoming involved in the Word of God, the progressive Catholic movement known elsewhere as Liberation Theology. In 1994, as a wife and mother of six children, she joined a support base for the Zapatista Army of National Liberation. Recounting her experiences in these three interwoven movements, Antonia offers a vivid and nuanced picture of working for social justice while trying to remain true to her people's traditions.

Rangers & Pioneers of Texas
Author: Andrew Jackson Sowell
Publisher: Copano Bay Press
ISBN: 0984737278
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
One of the most important and authentic accounts of the pioneer experience in Texas. This is actually three books in one. The first part is stories of Texas pioneers and their hardships, as told to Sowell firsthand. The second part is the adventures of Sowell's family during the Texas Revolution and the Republic Era. These two parts comprise the first half of the book. The final part, almost half of the book, is Ranger Sowell's recollections of the campaign of the Texas Rangers to the Wichita Mountains in 1871. This is probably the most historically accurate Texas Ranger narrative of them all. Sowell intended to write about the expedition before it ever set out. He kept good notes on exactly what happened and who did what.

Deadbolt

Publisher: Dorrance Publishing
ISBN: 1480993522
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
Deadbolt By: Mary T. Kremer St. Louis has a serial killer. Women are being sadistically tortured, brutally raped and murdered; the crime scenes horrific. Homicide Lieutenant Grace Van Haran is assigned the case. But when a second victim is butchered in as many months, she and her team are no closer to finding the monster. It could be anyone. How and why the women are hunted, remains a mystery. There appears to be no connection between the victims…no common factor; their paths have never crossed. The only similarities are that both women were home alone on the night of the attacks and their deadbolts locked. Everything appears to be random. Except that Lieutenant Van Haran doesn’t believe in random. To assist in the investigation, the mayor and chief of police bring in Agent Dr. Spartacus Breen of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit. He is an expert in crime profiling. Initially suspicious of Breen, as the time between murders shortens and the killings become more heinous, the task force soon learns that they need all the help they can get. With a city locked in terror, before any more women have to die, Van Haran and Breen need to turn the tables on the killer. They need to turn the hunter unto the hunted.
