摘要

'Despite physical discomforts, periods of boredom, ailments...and periodic ridicule for being culturally clueless, we have always loved ethnographic fieldwork'. So reads Saamaka dreaming's opening sentence. This profound love for long-term, in-depth qualitative research is intrinsic to the latest book by the anthropologist couple Richard and Sally Price, in which they take us back to the 1960s, the time of their first fieldwork among the tribal Saamaka Maroons, who live along the meandering rivers in the Suriname rainforest.
