  abstract: By presenting a history of Western ethnography of animism in East Timor during the Portuguese period, this intriguing study offers an original synthesis of the country's history, culture and anthropology. The book consists of ten chapters, each one a narrative of the work and experience of a particular ethnographer. Covering a selection of seminal 19th- and 20th-century ethnographies, the author explores the relationship between spiritual beliefs, colonial administration, ethnographic interests and fieldwork experience.
  table of contents: Colonial ethnography -- The governor (an ethnography for empire) -- The naturalist (an ethnography of obstructions) -- The magistrate (an ethnography of aesthetics) -- The captain (an ethnography of change) -- The administrator (an ethnography of purity) -- The missionary (an ethnography of extremes) -- Professional ethnography -- The sentimentalist (an ethnography in paradise) -- The theologian (an ethnography for order) -- The apprentice (an ethnography of unintended consequences) -- The detective (an ethnography of intimacy).
