1. The misery and incomprehension expressed by the informants is vivid, but it is not new. Classic “autobiographical” texts such as Bowen (1954), Barley (1983) and Chagnon (1968) made all these points forcibly. We collected exactly similar stories in 1990. The paper does not report any evidence that these novice anthropologists had read any of that literature. If they had not read any of the classic, or more recent (e.g. Lareau and Shultz 1996) accounts of fieldwork, my question is, why not? There is a big literature out there that would have helped these students realise they are not alone, and not idiots
