NOTE: The following readings include two excerpts from Ruth Behar’s The Vulnerable

Observer: Anthropology That Breaks Your Heart. Interspersed between these two excerpts

is a section from Renato Rosaldo’s “Grief and a Headhunter’s Rage.” When reading Behar’s

first excerpt, end on the last full sentence on the bottom of page 7. When reading the

Rosaldo excerpt, end at the last full paragraph on page 13 . (The full essay can be found in

Rosaldo’s book Culture & Truth: The Remaking of Social Analysis.)
