Recensioner i media

LeCompte & Schensul's Ethnographer's Toolkit is a classic methods text in applied anthropology. The authors combine highly accessible writing, extremely pertinent examples, and a grounded approach to social inquiry that is both creative and versatile. The new edition of the introductory book in the series, Designing and Conducting Ethnographic Research, represents a substantial revision of the previous edition. This edition includes new discussions of the influence of ethnicity and power, expanded entries on design and analysis, and greater emphases on team and partnership building. This text is highly recommended for both graduate and undergraduate students in anthropology and related disciplines...
