Description
Many of the villagers keep scrapbooks and took pleasure in pointing out what they considered important in their archive of photos. The photographs in their scrapbooks helped us realize how much tradition and custom there was that still existed despite the trappings of Westernization-- that remained behind the visible calico and surface images. Anthropologist Joan Larcom considered scrapbooks to be wealth indicators because of the cost of cameras and developing film along with the collection of Western images.
