hi Mike and all -- Paul Rabinow -- the anthropologist from berkeley,
has a really nice book on the conceptual, moral, emotional, and

a memoir -- i think it was his first (of many) book.

worth a look --

Rabinow, P. (1978). Reflections on Fieldwork in Morocco. Berkeley:
University of California Press.
