Bøker av Renato Rosaldo

Exposing the inadequacies of old conceptions of static cultures and detached observers, the book argues instead for social science to acknowledge and celebrate diversity, narrative, emotion, and subjectivity.

This deeply moving collection of "ethnographic poetry" by the renowned cultural theorist Renato Rosaldo focuses on the immediate aftermath of his wife Michelle (Shelly) Rosaldo's sudden death on October 11, 1981, the day after she and her family had arrived in a northern Philippines village where Shelly and Renato were to conduct fieldwork.
