Rose Michael :

Reviews
"[This book's] highly creative, evocative and humorous prose makes for a joyful read. The ethnography comes alive through friendships, character portrayal and drama. Indigenous Spirits does not plunge the reader into the thick satay sauce of abstract theory and repetitive jargon, but presents Rose’s journey as, simply, a slow-moving encounter between an Australian anthropologist and Timorese. [...] Anthropologists may find Indigenous Spirits refreshing, as I do; students may find it inspiring; lay readers interested in Timor, anthropology and animism will find it unusually accessible."
