The tone of Wisdom Sits in Places combines Basso's informal, concrete and actually lived experience with his perspective as a social scientist studying language and culture. First, since Basso, by his own account, had grown tired of standard anthropological methodology, he expresses a clear preference for writing in an informal style as an unusual way of making his argument.
