Practicing Ethnography: A Student Guide to Method and Methodology

"In Practicing Ethnography, the authors offer a well-constructed volume created to guide students of cultural anthropology in developing themselves as ethnographer...It provides an extremely useful structure for instructors to base courses on while still being loose enough for one to incorporate their own touches."

Hilary-Joy Virtanen, Finlandia University, Journal of Folklore Research

"This book offers considerable scope in its explanation of research strategies and the disciplinary context and theoretical grounding of ethnographic methodology, which makes it an attractive textbook for teaching undergraduates. Its diversity of voice and perspectives makes it engaging and dynamic, and the numerous examples of fascinating anthropological fieldwork bring the research process to life." Susan Frohlick, UBC Okanagan

"Practicing Ethnography is an excellent introductory text for undergraduate students who are embarking on ethnographic research for the first time. This engaging and accessible book succinctly covers aspects of the research process that are often belabored or overlooked in other methods textbooks. It encourages students to think critically about the opportunities and issues inherent in ethnographic fieldwork." Melanie Medeiros, SUNY Geneseo
