Drawing on the experience of anthropologists in the field in Italy, the Himalayas, Northern England, Bangladesh and Indonesia, 'Being There' examines the close relationships anthropologists establish with friends and informants in the field. Collectively they describe the varying ways in which that closeness affects the nature of the anthropologists' observation, as well as an understanding of themselves and their discipline.
