"Written by anthropologist Laura Bohannon in 1954, based on living with the Tiv group of Nigeria in 1949-1953. Absolutely fascinating account of her struggles to learn and understand local culture and beliefs, and the conflicts with her own beliefs and morals. What about witchcraft, ostracizing someone accused of witchcraft, herself being ostracized for continuing to visit this person. Should/can she live and act as the others do? or does she want to retain some of her own value system, at the risk of being perceived as rude and even evil. She must have been one of the first to do what today is considered par for the course, namely, participant observation."
"This book is really fun-you don't have to love anthopology to enjoy this story. It's about a woman who goes to live in the African brush in the 1960's for a year. Plenty of witch doctors and inter-village drama. The writer is fairly honest about what she goes through in this whole experience."
"This is a book that I read in 1975 which inspired me to join the Peace Corps as a young woman. For Christmas my husband searched out of print books and found a copy for me. I read it again and still loved it."
