“One of the most engaging and provocative contributions of this book is the emphasis on the ethnographer as an emotional being. While this is not a novel concept in ethnography, the originality of these pieces lies in their seeming unfinished and rough-hewn qualities. And, indeed, they are depictions of fieldwork in progress and not the nuggets of ‘lessons learned’ in the field . . . these are fledgling scholars trying to make sense of themselves, their relationship to the people they study and, most important, to a general audience, to anthropology itself. At times they seem courageous, other times naïve. Yet like the up-close-and-personal head shot on television, they draw the reader in and keep their attention riveted.” — International Review of Modern Sociology (Spring 2007)
“This is an excellent volume. Simply put, no other text as effectively engages and compels my students to undertake ethnographic fieldwork of their own. The essays wonderfully convey the many challenges and rewards of doing anthropology, and truly engage the imagination.” — Antonio Sorge, University of Prince Edward Island
