Nigel Barley (born 1947 in Kingston upon Thames, England) is an anthropologist famous for the books he has written on his experiences. He studied modern languages at Cambridge University and completed a doctorate in social anthropology at Oxford University. He held a number of academic positions before joining the British Museum as an assistant keeper in the Department of Ethnography, where he remained until 2003.
Barley's first book, The Innocent Anthropologist, was a witty and informative account of anthropological field work among the Dowayo people of Cameroon. Thereafter he published a number of works about Africa and Indonesia in such genres as travel, art, historical biography, and fiction.
Barley has been twice nominated for the Travelex Writer of the Year Award. In 2002, he won the Foreign Press Association prize for travel writing.
When British anthropologist Nigel Barley set up home among the Dowayo people in northern Cameroon, he knew how fieldwork should be conducted. Unfortunately, nobody had told the Dowayo. His compulsive, witty account of first fieldwork offers a wonderfully inspiring introduction to the real life of a cultural anthropologist doing research in a Third World area. Both touching and hilarious, Barley’s unconventional story—in which he survived boredom, hostility, disaster, and illness—addresses many critical issues in anthropology and in fieldwork.

评分研究生入学以前,我因成绩不济,被调剂到广西某学校的民族学院学习民族学。家人坚持学习无用,文凭有用的原则,认为如果出国也需要回来,什么也没说,就放心让我从记者转身变成一名民族学家。而我,虽然有大家都懂的崇洋媚外之心,但是想到本人对于中国文字有种狂热的痴迷,无...
评分人类学家自十九世纪以来试图通过综合生物学和社会达尔文主义的理论描绘出人类文化与社会的蓝图。他们的形象要么是信仰坚定、走乡串野,寻找类似人类头骨之类的生物人类学家(biological anthropologist);要么是睿智善谈、专注于资料研究,在跨学科领域备受瞩目的文化人类...
评分记得上完第一节人类学课程后,身边的同学普遍有一种想法,转系到人类学系跟老师做田野调查去。听着老师在课堂上的描述,人类学家到处去体验全新不同的生活方式,这是多么丰富精彩的人生呀!估计老师也猜透了我们的心思,在课堂上一再强调,田野调查真的不如大家想象中有...
