For at least a decade, the function of the ethnographer's work as
simple cultural description has been challenged. In response,
ethnographic texts have been deconstructed for their origins, their
biases, and their literary devices--all of which have resulted in
heightened methodological self-consciousness and a concern for
reflexivity. This volume explores many of the dimensions of the
representational challenges facing contemporary ethnography. The
distinguished contributors--Van Maanen, Manning, Wolcott, Agar,
Fine, Richardson, and others--cover topics such as fieldnotes; the
role of description, narrative, humor, and acknowledgments; the
relationship between ethnography and other forms of writing; and
alternative means of presenting ethnographic work. Anyone
interested in qualitative methods, particularly ethnography, and
those who are involved in the examination of the inner workings of
ethnographic writing will consider this a valuable work.
