| Summary: | The narrative below is excerpted from a brief but most poignant autobiography, The Simple One: The Story of a Siamese Girlhood.1 The autobiography, written in connection with an English course, is largely unedited, idiom, choice of words, and even grammar having been left pretty much as Miss Tirabutana wrote it. The account of her girlhood, her instruction in her own culture, her feelings about her culture and her people, her increasing contacts with Westerners (including the missionaries mentioned below), her reflections on the inconsistencies within our culture and differences between hers and ours, all these elements are woven together simply, directly, and movingly. We recommend the whole paper to every reader of Practical Anthropology. |
