The central theme of this book is the position of 'natives' in what I call the 'world system' of anthropology.
Since anthropology originally developed in the west mainly as a science of 'primitive' original developed in
the West mainly as a science of 'primitive'
people under colonial rule, scholars used to gater ethnographic
data and interpret it in books and articles without seriously
considering the reactions of the people they were describing. the
situation has changed dramatically in the postcolonial age, when
the traditional boundary between the colonier/researcher and the
colonied/researched has become increasingly blurred Not only do
today's 'natives' read what has been written about them, they have
also learned to write about their own culture in their own language,
from thieir own perspective. Since their discourse of outsiders,
especially those of researchers from former colonized powers. a
major task in contemporary anthropology, then, is the creation of
a 'dialogue space' between the describer and the the described, as well
as among all the people concerned with the culture studied, without
privileging one kind of discourse over another.

What a lot of sterEUtypes
Tall, fat, a single parent, booy, depressed. I you are mediterranean,
you might well think those are standard attributes up north.
and northerners may well think their southern cousins are stumpy,
drive badly and chain-smoke. According to Eurostat, the EU's statistics
office, such stereotypes contain some grains of truth.
Marriage certainly divides Europe. Northerners get hitched less
and have many more children out of wedlock. Freethinking Iceland
has almost shed the habit altogether; 65% of the country's babies are
born to unmarried mothersmothers. So are about half of all births in
Scandinavia. The farther south you go, the less illegitimacy.
But you are much more likely to die in a traffic accident in Europe's
south. Portugal and Greece clock up the highest rte of road deaths,
while the Nordics, despite their long, dark winters and icy roads, are
the safest drivers.

My name is Kathy H. I'm thirty-one years old, and I've been a
carer now for over eleven years. That sounds long enough, I know,
but actully the want me to go on for another eight months,
until the end of this year. That'll make it almost exactly twelve
years. Now I know my being a carer so long isn't necessarily
because they think I'm fantastic at what I do There are some
really good carers who've been told to stop after just two or three
years. And I can think of one carer at least who went on for all
of fourteen years despite being a complete waste of space. So I'm
not trying to boast. But then I do know for a fact they've been
pleased with my work, and by and large, I have too. My donors
have always tended to do much better than expected. Their revovery
times have been impressive, and hardly any of them have
been classified as "agitated" even before fourth donation. Okay,
maybe I am boasting now. But it means a lot to me, being able to
do my work well, especially that bit about my donors staying
"calm" I've developed a kind of instinct around donors. I know
when to hang around and comfort them, when to leave them to
themselves; when to listen to everything they have to say, and
when just to shrug and tell them to snap out of it.
