Methods textbooks generally offer prescriptive advice on how to
perform certain techniques, how to develop specific strategies, how
to analyze your results. But, as all experienced ethnographers
know, this fine-sounding advice rarely provides ample guidance in
dealing with real people in real field settings. That is where this
casebook differs. Selecting many key methods regularly used by
anthropologists - participant observation, consensus analysis,
simple surveys, scaling, freelisting and triads, networks, decision
modeling- the editors commissioned scholars who have completed
studies using these techniques to describe them in the context of
real field work. Using cases from health, community politics,
family relations, and child development (among others) in settings
as diverse as an Arkansas college campus, a Mexican barrio, a Thai
village, and a Scottish business, the student is given a clear
understanding of the diversity of methods used by anthropologists
and the complexities surrounding their use.
