Beskrivning

Some field sites have hosted anthropologists for as long as half a century. Chronicling Cultures collects articles from principals of many of the longest and best-known anthropology projects from four continents—the Kung, Harvard Chiapas Project, Gwembe Valley, Tzintzuntzan, and Navajo among others. These projects have brought a new understanding of change and persistence in communities over time. They have forced researchers to develop methods of involving local communities in research, of using data over generations of scholars, and of resolving ethical issues of research versus advocacy. The projects range from individual scholars who return 'home' year after year to large-scale institutionalized projects involving many researchers and numerous studies. This volume will be an important addition to the literature on fieldwork, on the history of ethnology, and on ethnographers' role in their host cultures.

...a refreshing contribution to our knowledge of long-term research projects...this robust volume can lead readers to raise broader methodological and theoretical concerns that intersect with both long-standing and current debates in anthroplogy...[an] impressive volume, uniting between two covers documentation of some of anthroplogy's better known long-term ethnographic projects...extremely valuable in terms of presenting a broad and grounded exploration of the benefits and challenges of long-term research...a very informative and thought-provoking collection of statements and revelations.
