What follows are brief selections from a transcript of taped conversations between an anthropologist father, Joseba Zulaika, and his six‐year‐old daughter, Garazi. They are real life dialogues. They are offered as an ethnographic instance of the experience of anthropologists and members of their families shifting between field and home. In this case, they concern two worlds, the Basque Country in Spain as thefieldwork and native country, and Reno, Nevada, the site of Zulaika's academic and adopted lifestyle. The family moves back and forth almost annually from the United States to Spain. The extract below is the raw stuff of this special issue and is presented with no anthropological vocabulary. We leave Garazi's remarks for what they are.
