In this richly detailed and sympathetic book, Nancy Scheper-Hughes explores the symptoms of the community's decline: emigration, malaise, unwanted celibacy, damaging patterns of childrearing, fear of intimacy, suicide, and schizophrenia. Following a recent return to \"Ballybran,\" Scheper-Hughes reflects in a new preface and epilogue on the well-being of the community and on her attempts to reconcile her responsibility to honest ethnography with respect for the people who shared their homes and their secrets with her.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nancy Scheper-Hughes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520224809\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520224803\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 417\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.93d","brand":"Nancy Scheper-Hughes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980986810623,"sku":"9780520224803","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dcbf4fbb-ba91-4718-9557-60de42d74732.jpg?v=1683253042","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/saints-scholars-and-schizophrenics-nancy-scheper-hughes-9780520224803","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
