There is surprisingly little fieldwork done on the United States by
anthropologists from abroad. America Observed fills that gap by
bringing into greater focus empirical as well as theoretical
implications of this phenomenon. Edited by Virginia Dominguez and
Jasmin Habib, the essays collected here offer a critique of such an
absence, exploring its likely reasons while also illustrating the
advantages of studying fieldwork-based anthropological projects
conducted by colleagues from outside the U.S. This volume contains
an introduction written by the editors and fieldwork-based essays
written by Helena Wulff, Jasmin Habib, Limor Darash, Ulf Hannerz,
and Moshe Shokeid, and reflections on the broad issue written by
Geoffrey White, Keiko Ikeda, and Jane Desmond. Suitable for
introductory and mid-level anthropology courses, America Observed
will also be useful for American Studies courses both in the U.S.
and elsewhere.
