Ethnography in the Raw vividly portrays the author's encounters with his Filipino family, including his wife's friends and acquaintances, as well as their lives in a secluded rural village situated in the rice basin of Luzon, approximately 130 miles northeast of Manila. The book seamlessly weaves together intricate descriptions of the author's Filipino family with cultural practices such as circumcision, marriage, and cockfights, alongside theoretical reflections on concepts such as sacrifice, social exchange, patron-client relations, food, and religious symbolism. This work serves as both an authentic anthropological fieldwork experience and a penetrating analysis of contemporary Philippine society and culture.
