The Power of the Between: An Anthropological Odyssey Book

I had to read this for Anthro 9, and while at times I was skeptical about it (considering the arguable ethnic voyeurism and vicariousness of the whole field, even, but maybe particularly for a white man who travels to Africa), I ended up quite liking it. Stoller tells a good story - actually, he tells multiple stories within this book, each of them at first almost a jarring break but then, the threads of continuity come creeping back in. I liked it. Also, he is very blunt about his lack of complete belonging, and does bring up the dynamics of his presence within these communities as a white outsider. I learned a lot I probably never would have otherwise, and I especially liked the look into what art really is, and how it is consumed and defined by many different groups of people. My biggest complaint would be that the editing was really not very good.
