Anna Grimshaw was one of the founders and editors of the original Prickly Pear Pamphlet series. She was trained as an anthropologist at the University of Cambridge and carried out her doctoral research with communities of Buddhist nuns in the Himalayas. Anna’s books include Servants of the Buddha (1992), a remembered ethnography about her fieldwork with Buddhist nuns in Ladakh, and The Ethnographer's Eye: Ways of Seeing in Modern Anthropology (2001), which charts the shifting relationship between vision and knowledge in twentieth-century anthropology. Her Observational Cinema: Anthropology, Film and the Exploration of Social Life (coauthored with Amanda Ravetz) was published in 2009 (Indiana University Press). She is well known for her many publications associated with C.L.R.
