Description: In today's uncertain world few beliefs remain as firmly entrenched as the optimistic view that more schooling will lead to a better life. Though this may be true in the aggregate how do we explain the circumstances when schooling fails to produce certainty or even does us harm? Schooling as Uncertainty addresses this question by combining ethnography and memoir as it guides readers on a 30 - year journey through fieldwork and familyhood in Tanzania and academic life in the US a. Using reflexive longitudinal ethnographic research the book examines how African youth particularly young women employ schooling in an attempt to counter the uncertainties of marriage child rearing employment and HIV/ AIDS. Adopting a narrative approach Vavrus tells the story of how her life became entangled with a community on Mount Kilimanjaro and how she and they sought greater security through schooling and to varying degrees succeeded.
