<p>This is a book about anthropology &amp; particularly about doing fieldwork among the Navajo. It is ultimately a book about knowing &amp; thinking about people &amp; their experiences, but at its most basic level it is a book of stories about some Navajo people, their families, &amp; some of their experiences. To introduce these stories, the author tells us a good deal about his own experiences in his profession, anthropology. When he is talking about Navajo people we experience their humanity &amp; his, all of it in a remarkably direct prose style. An incredibly powerful book that is also a critique of contemporary American society &amp; Western thought.</p>
