Introduction to Clifford Geertz in Morocco: why Sefrou? why anthropology? why me?

A very brief conclusion would be to sort of address the question that is a subject of mine: Why Sefrou? Why anthropology? Why me? I'll do this slightly autobiographica. I came here in the mid-sixties after having worked in Indonesia. I wanted to get a comparison case; I wanted to see. If you work too long in one place you do begin to see everything in terms of it and that's a dangerous business, whether it's seeing all of Morocco in terms of Sefrou or whether it's seeing all of the so-called Third World in terms of Indonesia.
