Being Here and Being There: Fieldwork Encounters and Ethnographic Discoveries

Contemporary ethnography is much too large, too diverse, too contentious to be represented in its entirety in a single collection of articles. This unique volume of The Annals , offers the rare chance to learn what ethnographers are doing in the field as well as the different approaches taken and styles used in conducting fieldwork. It also provides poignant insight for public policy students and practitioners. The articles included in this volume reflect a wide range of stories and researchers from around the country and around the world. Taken together they provide the big picture of the challenges and boons of fieldwork and examined experiences.
