"Establishes a new landmark in the study of everyday life in the
modern metropolis. This book brilliantly integrates systematic
theory and participant observation data. Forms of domination and
resistance are poignantly captured in different social settings,
and admirably related to economic and political forces. The volume
will do more to enhance ethnographic research than any previous
study in sociology."--William Julius Wilson, University of Chicago
"What is unleashed in "Ethnography Unbound is the theoretical
and critical potential of exemplary urban fieldwork and pedagogy.
This book by Michael Burawoy and his talented students sets an
inspirational standard to emulate in the classroom and in the
'field'."--Judith Stacey, author of "Brave New Families
"Bravo! A book that explodes the barriers that prevent us from
seeing, simultaneously, both the social world and our role in its
making. The dichotomies of teacher/student, researcher/researched,
and theory/data are subjected to a penetrating and refreshing
scrutiny in this unique project."--Rick Fantasia, author of
"Cultures of Solidarity
"Burawoy and his colleagues have rediscovered the ancient truth
that participant observation is well-suited to understanding the
larger society as well as microsocial life. Moreover, they have
made that rediscovery superbly. The essays are of high quality and
I hope that the book will increase yet further the current interest
in participant observation and ethnography."--Herbert J. Gans,
author of "People, Plans and Policies
