Guests of the Sheik: An Ethnography of an Iraqi Village | 
pickExcellent account of a time (late 1950s) and a place (a rural village in Iraq) by the author, who lived here with her anthropologist husband while he was doing sociological research. Thanks to @LeahBergen for bringing this one to my attention months ago!
LeahBergen Oh! 👏🏻👏🏻 I‘m glad you liked it, too! 4y
Amiable @LeahBergen Fernea was such an excellent writer —she managed to capture relevant sociological details in a way that wasn‘t dry or academic. Thoroughly enjoyed it! 4y
