'There is much beauty in Hemer's ethnography; she presents very
personal, intimate accounts of human experience as she and her
collaborators lived it, and imparts an honesty both in her
positioning and her interpretations. (...)
It is this close, personal and sensitive engagement with the
everyday that makes this ethnography so valuable.'Kirsty Gillespie,
The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology, Vol. 17, No. 1 (2016).
