Edith L. B. Turner (Author)
“Edith and Victor Turner were among the most influential researchers and teachers and social and cultural anthropology in the twentieth century. Together they, and Edie alone after Vic’s death, raised the idea of participant observation (and indeed of team learning) to heights and depth most anthropologists never achieve.”
[From the Foreword]
This fascinating memoir is a lively testimony to a remarkable partnership and to Edie Turner’s own achievements during more than two decades after Victor’s untimely death.
