Fieldwork Connections

Fieldwork
Connections tells the story of the intertwined research histories of
three anthropologists living and working in Liangshan Yi Autonomous
Prefectures, Sichuan, China. Chapters are written alternately by a male
American anthropologist, a male researcher raised in a village in
Liangshan, and a female scholar from an elite Nuosu/Chinese family. As
decades of mutual research unfold, the authors enter one another's
narratives and challenge readers to pond the nature of "truth."
