Resena: Art Vidich began to write this memoir in the late 1990s “as a set of recollections of a boy of immigrant Slovenian parents who tried to make his way in the brawling reality that is America that [he spent his] life trying to understand.” It became not only a remarkable record of an immigrant childhood and boyhood, but a self-portrait of a singularly important anthropologist/sociologist of the twentieth century. This essay focuses on Vidich’s stance as an outsider, a habit of mind initially fostered by his family’s social situation and later embraced by him as essential for the kind of understanding he wished to achieve and impart to others. I begin in the middle of the story.
