A vibrant account of life in Mali, which won the Margaret Mead Award in 1995. Dettwyler, a cultural anthropologist who lived and worked among the rural poor in Mali, is an unsentimental guide to the culture -- and field of ethnography. Not a simple report, Dettwyler considers her role in the lives of the malnourished children and families she encounters.
