Anthropologist's Return
Threads of Silence
This short article is about the realization that the most important lessons of the author's long‐term fieldwork in Galicia (Spain) since 1985 are rendered in silence. The disruption engendered by the author's stroke in 1998 and the aphasia, the speechlessness, it created were helpful in her learning process. In this article, the author chronicles how she learned to see her physically induced silence as a source of insight into the disruptions exp…
Travels in Stroke Country
This ethnographic photo essay raises questions concerning the best way to represent the disabled. Drawing on one author's experience of stroke and subsequent fieldwork in "stroke country," this essay argues for a new kind of disability studies ethnography, an ethnography that critically understands disability as social construct while at the same time remains faithful to the stories disabled people tell
Mind's Fire
Using autoethnography and photography, this article explores the culture of stroke, rehabilitation, and recovery. In 1998, Heidi Kelley had a massive stroke, leaving her speechless.

The Myth of Matriarchy
Galicia, the northwesternmost region of Spain, is often popularly characterized within that nation as matriarchal. This concept of female power has also been elaborated and drawn upon by Galician regionalists in their construction of a distinctive regional identity. The A. examines the ways in which a myth of matriarchy and symbols of womanhood have been used in Galician ethnogenesis. He explores both the aptness of feminine symbols for expressin…

Unwed mothers and household reputation in a Spanish Galician community
In the coastal Galician community of Ezaro, villagers evaluate households headed by unwed mothers in apparently contradictory ways. This article seeks to explain that phenomenon by examining villagers' complex and flexible concepts of the household and of gender roles. While the high incidence of illegitimacy in coastal Galicia is distinctive, this case points out the general importance of considering alternative household ideals and, moreover, i…
