Building on the "studying up" trend in anthropology, this book offers a theoretically informed guide to ethnographic methods that is also practical in approach, and reflects the challenges and concerns of contemporary ethnography.

The result is a text that discusses both practical and theoretical issues in contemporary ethnography while equipping students with a set of transferable skills.
