Nigel Barley

Nigel Barley is an anthropologist who we all know because we had to read his book some time ago. He born in England, in 1947. He has written many works where he tell his experiences. I'm going to tell you about his first book: The Innocent Anthropologist.
In this book he told his experiences in the Dowayo's town, a small village in Cameroon. In his travel he wanted to do a fast fieldwork, but he couldn't do it because of the nature of Dowayo people. The Dowayo people didn't help to Nigel to do his work, so he spend more time. On his trip, he had several problems, but the most important were: the transport, because he hadn't a car and there was long distances; Dowayo people, because they didn't understand to Nigel and they didn't tell the things that he wanted; the diseases, because he was very ill and he couldn't do anything. Finaly, he got good results, but he swore that he won't go anymore.
