An essential exploration of and guide to research ethics in the
field. Researchers working in Africa are engaged in ethical,
methodological, logistical, emotional and professional compromises.
Juggling the demands of being a researcher and being human,
scholars must balance the recording of data withthe emotional
demands of listening, of analyzing and reporting personal, and
often contradictory, narratives. This book recognizes these
challenges and lays bare the underlying and important process by
which the researcher grapples with emotions, and how 'feelings'
inform and shape data collection, interpretation, write-up and
dissemination. Based on widely researched on-the-ground work, the
contributors reveal the ambiguities and inconsistences that emerge
at all stages of fieldwork and how to tackle them. They examine the
ethical quagmires that arise when doing research on sensitive
topics in a researcher's own living environment, and suggest how to
manage the complex interaction between the researcher's own
identity and social relationships in the field, and navigate the
role of researcher when activism risks access to the field.
