TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY EDITION, UPDATED AND EXPANDEDWhen Saints, Scholars, and Schizophrenics was published twenty years ago, it became an instant classica beautifully written study tracing the social disintegration of Ballybran, a small village on the Dingle Peninsula in Ireland. In this richly detailed and sympathetic book, Nancy ScheperHughes explores the symptoms of the communitys decline: emigration, malaise, unwanted celibacy, damaging patterns of childrearing, fear of intimacy, suicide, and schizophrenia. Following a recent return to Ballybran, ScheperHughes reflects in a new preface and epilogue on the wellbeing of the community and on her attempts to reconcile her responsibility to honest ethnography with respect for the people who shared their homes and their secrets with her.
