Thinking Ethnographically
- Paul Atkinson - Cardiff University, UK
A much-needed antidote to superficial research and analysis, the text deals not merely with the practical methods of fieldwork, but with the far more ambitious enterprise of turning ethnographic data into productive ideas and concepts. Author Paul Atkinson enables us not merely to do ethnography, but truly to think ethnographically. His book will prove invaluable to students and researchers across the social sciences.
‘A deceptively simple tour de force by a master of ethnography. An essential text for all students and teachers of the method’s theory and practice.’
A masterclass by a master ethnographer on how to make sense of qualitative data.
A vital contribution. And all the more timely, given the continuing explosion of qualitative and ethnographic research.
