Sometime Kin is the portrait of an Alpine settlement - its history, economy and culture - and its unusual resistance to outsiders and modernisation. Against this we see it embrace the ethnographer’s four small children. Sandra Wallman’s account reveals the distortion to ordinary life caused by the intrusion of the anthropologist and the effect of informants observing her.
