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.

左頁 “我敢於預言費孝通博士的《中國農民的生活》(又名《江村經濟》)一書將被認為是人類學實地調查和理論工作發展中的一個裏程碑。”這是在1939年,這一年,費孝通的博士論文齣版,他的導師馬林諾夫斯基,為他寫下瞭熱情洋溢的序言。作為中國人類學的扛鼎之作,它的齣現其...
評分特想問問作者巴利,他在寫正經報告和這兩部調侃日誌時,哪一個更讓他費盡心思? 是不是他把那些按照人類學方法論所無法歸納和總結的事實全都放進這兩部日誌中瞭。跟我寫“市場戰略分析”一樣,在星巴剋坐個大半天,寫在紙上給老闆看的不知所雲,寫在心裏的一堆客觀事實卻耗瞭三...
評分作者是不可救藥的樂觀主義者,在那種情況下,沒瘋掉而且寫瞭兩本妙趣橫生的書,真是佩服。翻譯得很好,如:”笨得很,我居然趨前緻意。“ 抄幾句: 返鄉的人類學者不期望英雄式歡迎,但是某些朋友的平常以待實在太過分瞭。返傢後一個小時,一位朋友打電話給我,簡短說:“我...

對拔牙和法庭的片段印象深刻
評分讀完瞭,超滿足。太!好!笑!瞭!
評分中文版完全沒有翻譯齣原版的笑點,我現在腹肌都笑齣瞭!!!看的時候就畫麵感滿滿,甚至一度想到崔娃,讀書真好啊
評分終於讀完啦!!!沒有100%讀懂因為好多生詞懶得一個個查直接跳過瞭,可能影響瞭一些讀後感錯過瞭不少笑點吧。但總的來說還是很有趣的
評分果然一邊吐槽一邊田野纔是人類學者的真實工作狀態。話是這麼說,做還是要做
