Additional information

the big break in my preoccupation with Loma came between the first and second versions, for in the meantime I had found a way, which has not let me go, of talking about what had happened … what reflection on me in the field showed me to have had its beginning there: “surrender.” … The catch isunforeseeable; I had thought it would be a “community study.” Instead, among the contents of the catch are the implications of “surrender” for social science.
