Elliot Fratkin, Professor at Smith College, read excerpts from his recent book “Laibon: An anthropologist's Journey with Samburu Diviners in Kenya” and answered questions about his long-term ethnographic fieldwork in Kenya in Thompson Library on October 5th, 2012. I highly recommend everyone  to listen to Elliot's Dominic stories. The reading is streamed using Microsoft's Media Player (wmv) or RealPlayer (rm). 

Laibon is more than a memoir; it delves into nitty-gritty details of fieldwork, speaks to larger questions about ethnographic research, and provides unparalleled insight into the world of the laibon. The book can be purchased at Amazon.
