Blackberry Winter
When I first fastened onto the idea that I was going to study anthropology, I was sixteen years old and eager to learn what I could of the discipline, from whatever source. One of the first books I bought was <I>Blackberry Winter</I>, Margaret Mead’s memoir of her earlier years. The used paperback ended up at the bottom of a growing stack of texts on the anthropological life, theory, and practice. Despite my best intentions, the well-worn book drifted from the bottom of one stack to the bottom of another, and over the years lost its place in the rotation that had became a rather intensive reading schedule.
