Culture Writing argues that the period of decolonization witnessed dynamic exchanges between writers and anthropologists on both sides of the Atlantic. Watson analyzes writers who engaged professionally with anthropology--Barbara Pym, Ursula Le Guin, Saul Bellow, Édouard Glissant-and anthropologists who adopted literary forms--Laura Bohannan, Michel Leiris, and Claude Lévi-Strauss.
