Studies of human development have taken an ethnographic turn in the
1990s. In this volume, leading anthropologists, psychologists, and
sociologists discuss how qualitative methodologies have
strengthened our understanding of cognitive, emotional, and
behavioral development, and of the difficulties of growing up in
contemporary society.
Part 1, informed by a post-positivist philosophy of science, argues
for the validity of ethnographic knowledge. Part 2 examines a range
of qualitative methods, from participant observation to the
hermeneutic elaboration of texts. In Part 3, ethnographic methods
are applied to issues of human development across the life span and
to social problems including poverty, racial and ethnic
marginality, and crime.
Restoring ethnographic methods to a central place in social
inquiry, these twenty-two lively essays will interest everyone
concerned with the epistemological problems of context, meaning,
and subjectivity in the behavioral sciences.
