"This text is something of a masterclass in its own right. Few are
as well placed to comment on the debates surrounding ethnography -
debates which the author had been instrumental in shaping - and to
offer a clear and authoritative call-to-arms to future, aspirant
ethnographers. It is a passionate but realistic manifesto for those
wishing to undertake the craft of ethnography and to do it well.
All who read it will benefit." - Sam Hillyard, Durham University
This major book from one of the world's foremost authorities
recaptures the classic inspirations of ethnographic fieldwork in
sociology and anthropology, reflecting on decades of methodological
development and empirical research. It is part manifesto, part
guidance on the appropriate focus of the ethnographic gaze.
Throughout Atkinson insists that ethnographic research must be
faithful to the intrinsic and complex organization of everyday
life. An attempt to rescue ethnography from contemporary
'qualitative' research, the book is a corrective to the corrosive
effects of postmodernism on the analysis of social organization and
social action. Atkinson affirms the value of fieldwork, while
incorporating contemporary perspectives on social analysis. Paul
Atkinson is Distinguished Research Professor of Sociology at
Cardiff University, where he is also Associate Director of the ESRC
Centre for Economic and Social Aspects of Genomics.
