Wind in a Jar

This is a book about anthropology and particularly about doing it among the Navajo. It is ultimately a book about knowing and thinking about people and their experiences, but at its most basic level it is a book of stories about some Navajo people, their families, and 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 and his, all of it in a remarkably direct prose style. "An incredibly powerful book that is also a critique of contemporary American society and Western thought."Farella, John is the author of 'Wind in a Jar' with ISBN 9780826314079 and ISBN 0826314074.
