Notes
Chairman of Anthropology Dept. at Syracuse University during the 70s.[1]
"Being both a self-professed mystic and an anthropologist, Bharati offers us a methodology of "participation rather than 'participant observation'"—a radical anthropology (p. 11)."[2]
A practicing mystic, and author of The Light at the Center.
Takes an "emic" or insider's approach, as opposed to an "etic" or outsiders approach.[3]
