Synopsis

"Essential Ethnographic Methods (Book 2)" provides the reader with an introduction to participant and non-participant observation, interviewing and ethnographically-informed survey research, including structured interviews and questionnaires. These are the basic building blocks of ethnographic data collecting, providing researchers with answers to the key ethnographic questions: What's happening in this setting? Who is engaging in what kind of activities with whom? What do THEY think they're doing? The authors describe when and how to use these basic techniques and offer numerous examples of how these methods work in practice.
