Nigel Barley (born 1947 in Kingston upon Thames, England) is an anthropologist famous for the books he has written on his experiences. He studied modern languages at Cambridge University and completed a doctorate in social anthropology at Oxford University. He held a number of academic positions before joining the British Museum as an assistant keeper in the Department of Ethnography, where he remained until 2003.
Barley's first book, The Innocent Anthropologist, was a witty and informative account of anthropological field work among the Dowayo people of Cameroon. Thereafter he published a number of works about Africa and Indonesia in such genres as travel, art, historical biography, and fiction.
Barley has been twice nominated for the Travelex Writer of the Year Award. In 2002, he won the Foreign Press Association prize for travel writing.
When British anthropologist Nigel Barley set up home among the Dowayo people in northern Cameroon, he knew how fieldwork should be conducted. Unfortunately, nobody had told the Dowayo. His compulsive, witty account of first fieldwork offers a wonderfully inspiring introduction to the real life of a cultural anthropologist doing research in a Third World area. Both touching and hilarious, Barley’s unconventional story—in which he survived boredom, hostility, disaster, and illness—addresses many critical issues in anthropology and in fieldwork.

评分2003年的时候,《天真的人类学家:小泥屋笔记》出版了简体本,那时我刚在人类学的大门附近亦步亦趋地徘徊缓行;2008年,从老师那里,我复印了《天真的人类学家:重返多瓦悠兰》(续篇)的台版繁体本,稍能抚平的,是我在学术岔道上踯躅焦虑的心绪。2011年的夏日,我看到了“小...
评分有这样一本书,你在无聊时候随手翻起,忘了从哪页看起,不一会你就读到一段好笑的文字,然后,又翻了几页,你已然兴奋的如发现了一个新大陆,于是你老老实实又迫不及待的从头看起,不想错漏了每一个字,每一页纸。 《天真的人类学家》就是这么对待我的。 是书讲述了一个英国...
