«Traurige Insulaner. Als Ethnologe bei den Engländern» is Nigel Barley's anthropological essay, published by Dtv in paperback (170 pages, in German).
The anthropologist Nigel Barley inverts the ethnographic gaze and observes the English as if they were an unknown tribe: he analyzes their customs, conversations and everyday rituals with irony, and builds a portrait of life in England that is both amusing and revealing about British society.
The German edition of 1999 was translated from English by Elke Hosfeld; the original title of the work is «Native Land».
For readers interested in anthropology, British culture and observational humor.
Nigel Frederick Barley is a British anthropologist known for his books based on his anthropological field work, which have been treated as travel writing. His first book The Innocent Anthropologist (1983), was an account of field work in Cameroon and was positively reviewed.
