Describe Dettwyler’s research design with respect to her fieldwork in Mali (i.e. what is she studying and what are her methods?).
What kinds of difficulties were experienced by Dettwyler while doing her fieldwork in Mali?
How do Malian mothers view children who, to outsiders like Dettwyler, are clearly suffering from malnutrition? What kinds of decisions do mothers make about daily food expenditures for their families?
How do Malian mothers wean babies (at what age, etc.)? How does this affect the relative health of children?
