Ethnographic life histories and autobiographies can enrich
our understanding of human experience and social issues,
both historically and cross-culturally. This course will
expose students to first-person accounts that augment and
elaborate the kinds of social analysis associated with
ethnographies and other anthropological writings. We will
discuss how these personal narratives provide
interpretations of the sociocultural processes that
anthropologists study. Through careful readings of the
texts, we will also examine the extent to which these
accounts challenge the dominant cultural formations in
which the speakers live. Readings will emphasize but not be
limited to materials from the U.S. and Caribbean.
