Opis

Culture Writing argues that the period of decolonization witnessed dynamic exchanges between writers and anthropologists on both sides of the Atlantic. Watson analyzes writers who engaged professionally with anthropology-Barbara Pym, Ursula Le Guin, Saul Bellow, Edouard Glissant-and anthropologists who adopted literary forms-Laura Bohannan, Michel Leiris, and Claude Levi-Strauss.
