Description
Paul Riesman's Freedom in Fulani Social Life is based upon his two years of residence among the Jelgobe, a group of semi-nomadic Fulani of the Sahel in Upper Volta, western Africa. Since its original publication, this classic study has profoundly influenced the field of anthropology through its re-examination of the enthnographer's personal input on his research.

For this reason, [Riesman's] book will be of paramount interest to all ethnographers.--Philip L. Kilbride, Reviews in Anthropology A remarkably well-written and insightful account of Fulani life. . . . In addition to using the conventional approaches of participating in and observing the daily activities of the Jelgobe . . . Riesman enriches his account by examining his personal feelings about particular incidents.--Library Journal An interesting and provocative study.--Choice At the time of his death in 1988, Paul Riesman was an anthropologist who taught at Carleton College.EXTRA 10 % discount with code: EXTRA
