От издания: "The innocent anthropologist explores the question: "What does it take to be English? " through the bizarre rituals and curious customs that make the English English. Nigel Barley, famous for his field work in Cameroon and Indonesia, turns the quizzical eye of a professional alien on the culture and people of his native land. With tremendous wit and perception he opens our eyes to the donnees of English life: the ritual, tradition and ceremony inherent in every aspect of our day-to-day existence. Drawing comparisons with primitive cultures, he asks such questions as: what is the symbolism of the wedding cake? What is the significance of the layout of rooms in the average English semi-detached? In what ways does a rural community differ from an urban one? How do we express our patriotism, or our belief in God? Aided in his research by insider Jim Batchelor, Nigel Barley discovers that the cliches about the English no longer hold true. Yet despite the disparate nature of our lives and our frequently bizarre and eccentric behaviour, the essence of true Englishness is still discernible. "
