Ethnography as Risky Business: Field Research in Violent and
Sensitive Contexts offers a hands-on, critical appraisal of how to
approach ethnographic fieldwork on socio-political conflict and
collective violence, focusing on the global south. The volume's
contributions are all based on extensive firsthand qualitative
social science research conducted in sensitive--and often
hazardous--field settings. The contributors reflect on real-life
methodological problems as well as the ethical and personal
challenges such as the protection of participants, research data
and the 'ethnographic self'. In particular, the authors highlight
how 'risky ethnography' requires careful maneuvering before,
during, and after fieldwork on the basis of a 'situated' ethics,
yet also point to the rewards of such an endeavor. If these
methodological, ethical and personal risks are managed adequately,
the yields in terms of generating a deep understanding of, and
critical engagement with, conflict and violence may be substantial.
