In departing from the traditional stance taken by anthropologists,
who study 'others' ethnographically, this timely book explores
forms of self-inscription on the part of both the ethnographer and
those 'others' who are studied. Informed by developments in
postmodernism, postcolonialism, and feminism, this is an original
contribution to the growing dialogue across disciplinary
boundaries. The chapters build upon recent reconsiderations of the
uses and meaning of personal narrative to examine the ways in which
selves and social forms are culturally constituted through
biographical genres. Ethnic autobiography, self-reflexivity in
ethnography, and native ethnography raise provocative questions
about a range of issues for the contemporary scholar: authenticity
of voice; ethnographic authority; and the degree to which
autoethnography constitutes resistance to hegemonic bodies of
discourse. Examined here in a variety of cultural and political
contexts, writing about the self offers challenging insights into
the construction and transformation of identities and cultural
meanings.
