What is most compelling about this book is the mix of documentary/ethnographic testimony and self-reflection. Towards the end, though, when Taussig muses on the function of a diary, the self-reflection becomes a little contrived. Also, given the format, many of the thoughts here are sketchy -- probably better fleshed out in Taussig's other books.]]>
