The anthropologist must relinquish his comfortable position
in the long chair on the veranda of the missionary
compound, Government station, or planter's bungalow,
where, armed with pencil and notebook and at times with a
whisky and soda, he has been accustomed to collect
statements from informants.... He must go out into the
villages, and see the natives at work in gardens, on the
beach, in the jungle; he must sail with them to distant
sandbanks and to foreign tribes.
(Bronislaw Malinowski)
