As a read for my cultural anthropological class, I found this to be really insightful and easy to read. Most textbooks can be dry but this keeps you interested. Rebeka Nathan's account gives real insight into campus life and could be an eye opener for professors, administrators and parents alike. One major problem that anthropologists face when venturing into ethnography is ethical issues. Nathan is no different, she struggles throughout the book to maintain her ethinic duties and keeps names, places and telling details out of the context in order to protect those studied.

Will most likely read again as I get futher into my ph.d studies in anthropology.
