Challenges to ethnographic authority and to the ethics of
representation have led many contemporary anthropologists to
abandon fieldwork in favor of strategies of theoretical
puppeteering, textual analysis, and surrogate ethnography. In
"Being There, "John Borneman and Abdellah Hammoudi argue that
ethnographies based on these strategies elide important insights.
To demonstrate the power and knowledge attained through the
fieldwork experience, they have gathered essays by anthropologists
working in Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tanzania, the Canadian
Arctic, India, Germany, and Russia that shift attention back to the
subtle dynamics of the ethnographic encounter. From an Inuit
village to the foothills of Kilimanjaro, each account illustrates
how, despite its challenges, fieldwork yields important insights
outside the reach of textual analysis.
