The long awaited book where social anthropologist Jean Lave shares her research study from Liberia, of tailor boy apprenticeship (where they learn not from their master directly, but from being inlcuded in everyday chores and observing their peer apprentices, a litte more advanced than themselves). JeanLve spent considerable time on location doing this study. In 2000 she was a guest teacher at the University of Copenhagen where I had the pleasure to follow a dozen lectures. With my study companion's courage, we were allowed to have a one hour long conversation with Jean Lave, planned as an interview but never published, to my regret. The book can be purchased as an e-book for 30 days, at the reasonable price of $6, or full price $27 (same as in print).
