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.

評分人類學的罪與愛——《天真的人類學傢》讀書筆記 人類學與社會學、民族學互有交叉。在我看來,人類學往往以邊遠族群或早期民族為研究對象,而社會學側重於成熟社會的運行狀態和社會關係。民族學注重資料的收集與記錄,帶有史學味道;而人類學長於對這些資料、現象的解釋。人類...
評分書讀到一半時,不慎弄丟瞭。隔瞭兩個月找迴來重新讀,仍舊喜歡的不得瞭。之前有人抱怨翻譯和作者的人品,書不在手,也沒法反駁。現在終有機會。 翻譯沒有問題,這是比較負責的翻譯。作者的英式冷幽默功夫瞭得,翻譯忠實地重現瞭作者的語氣甚至雙關語。不得不說颱灣編輯的認真,...
