Although the informants of anthropologists and other researchers in the social sciences are mostly reduced to anonymity or turned into numbers, we should not forget that they are key to our reflections. Lluís Mallart reminds us in this book that all of them have a name and face and, through their gestures and words, they shed a little more light on our investigations and instil us with an immense sadness when we realise that they are often forgotten... In an homage to one of these, the author once again takes us deep into Evuzok society.

Encara que els informants dels antropòlegs i d’altres investigadors en ciències socials quedin la majoria de les vegades reduïts a l’anonimat o convertits en números, no podem oblidar que són una de les claus de les nostres reflexions. Lluís Mallart ens recorda en aquest llibre que tots ells tenen un nom i cognom, cara i ulls, que amb els seus gestos i paraules ens aporten una mica de llum en les nostres investigacions i una tristesa immensa al constatar que sovint queden en l’oblit... En fer memòria d’algun d’ells, l’autor d’aquest homenatge ens endinsa, una vegada més, en el coneixement de la societat evuzok.
