Bücher von Adam Reed

Prison Studies, a growing field of interest for social scientists, is mostly focusing on western societies and Japan. This study of a prison in the Asia Pacific area is based on extensive fieldwork among prisoners locked up in the maximum-security jail of Papua New Guinea.

This book represents the first anthropological study of fiction reading and the first ethnography of British literary culture. It is the outcome of long-term engagement with a set of solitary readers who belong to a single literary society. -- .
