Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Necessary for guests in an unfamiliar culture, especially where a strong oral tradition and community participation shape most decisions. Skibo’s writing style is clear, unemotional and instructive.”
—Utah Archeology “James Skibo has provided grist for many mills.”
—American Anthropologist “Skibo writes a pleasantly laidback prose. His anthropological stories will charm readers who care about the Kalinga or about similar groups—or about their cookware.”
—Publishers Weekly “You’ll love his adventure packed tale, with its documenting of life among former headhunters.”
