Commentary/review
Another book from my favorite series (A Very Short Introduction), this time on ethnography. Many examples, discussion on the ethical issues of participant observation and subjectivity, brief introduction to prominent scholars, concepts and discoveries. Possible ways forward for social and cultural anthropology and the ethnographic method.
