The Vulnerable Observer by Ruth Behar

A Riveting Look at the Art of Anthropology

Ex  library book in fair condition – significant wear and tear, with faded and discolored covers.

This is a truly unique book that lives up to its subtitle: "Anthropology That Breaks Your Heart." Rather than a dry academic text, Ruth Behar's work is a powerful and personal look at the emotional side of fieldwork and observation. It's a poignant read that blends memoir with academic insight, making it a great option for anyone who wants to learn about anthropology in a way that feels real and deeply human.
