Joel Sherzer
This book, by one of the leading scholars in linguistic anthropology, concerns the verbal art of the Kuna Indians of San Blas, Panama. Theirs is a world in which all knowledge and information, from history and geography to the latest sport news from Panama City, is orally conceived, perceived and transmitted and Joel Sherzer demonstrates how experience is shaped by these verbal discourses.
