Choose 20 books that have stayed with or influenced you. 20 days, in no particular order, explanations or reviews, just covers. 2/20 "The Vulnerable Observer: Anthropology That Breaks Your Heart"- @ruthbehar.bsky.social #booksky #bookchallenge #booknerd #booklovers #books #ethnography #folklore

Book cover for "The Vulnerable Observer: Anthropology That Breaks Your Heart" by Ruth Behar. A face with feminine features fills the field behind the title, colored in muted purples, beiges, and browns.

Meme of red heart and in a white square, with cracks in both. Text is a centered quote that reads: “Call it sentimental, call it Victorian and nineteenth century, but I say that anthropology that doesn’t break your heart just isn’t worth doing anymore.” Ruth Behar, The Vulnerable Observer
