Verging on Extra-Vagance: Anthropology, History, Religion, Literature, Arts . . . Showbiz
James A. Boon
Exploring links between ritual and reading, focusing on commentaries about the seclusion of menstruating women in Native American culture, trance dances in Bali, and circumcision (or lack of it) in contrasting religions, this work considers the ironies of "first-person ethnography" by telling stories from the author's own fieldwork.
