ABSTRACT

Following research work in development anthropology during the summer of 1963 (Ch. 18), I returned to Jordan in June 1994 with a colleague, Carole Rehfisch, to participate in a joint health and education rapid appraisal in which my colleague was to lead the former component and I the latter. Jointly, we conducted some 18 interviews between 13 June 1994 and 22 June 1994. At this point, due to unforeseen circumstances, my colleague terminated her work with the programme. At the request of the then Programme Director in Jordan, I agreed to proceed with the work that we had begun, adding the health component to my former agenda. My intention was to work until September but like my colleague before me, I was forced to terminate my work prior to its completion (on 16 August 1994).
