Rezensionen

This brilliant new book by Paul Atkinson offers scholars and students alike foundational insights on how to conduct ethnography based on granular analysis, that is work that traces the grain of everyday life. This book has a commanding grasp of the many traditions that define contemporary ethnographic inquiry. It will define ethnographic inquiry for the next decade. For this we are in Atkinson's debt.
