Langbeschreibung
"Field's study of small-town and rural artisans meets an evident need in the literature on Nicaragua. This innovative, stimulating, and important book is a prime example of the 'new ethnography': theoretically sophisticated, critical of the anthropological enterprise yet empirically rich and grounded."--Charles R. Hale, University of Texas at Austin
