Nancy Scheper-Hughes is Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley. Her book Saints, Scholars, and Schizophrenics: Mental Illness in Rural Ireland (UC Press) received the Margaret Mead Award in 1981. She is the winner of the 2000 J. I. Stanley Prize of the School of American Research.
Bringing her readers to the slopes above a modern plantation town, the author follows three generations of shanty-town women as they struggle to survive through hard work, cunning and trial. It is a story of class relations told at the basic level of bodies, emotions, desires and needs.
