"Oh No, They're Not My Shoes!":
Fieldwork in the
Blue Mountains of Jamaica
Every night, those first two weeks, the rats would hold what
Jamaicans called a "fete" in the living room. I would cower in my
bed, listening to their creaks, steps, and squeaks, terrified that
one of the children would call me and that I would have
to
walk
through the rats to get to their room. At 4:00 in the morning,
before the donkey brayed and the rooster crowed, I would lie
awake composing imaginary letters
to
Margaret Mead:
Dear Dr. Mead:
I am in a Jamaican village learning how
to
do fieldwork, with
a six year old, a nine year old, and a houseful of rats, who
invite their friends to come and share the rat poison I put
out. I can cope with the lack of electricity-Coleman
