Anthropological knowledge is embodied in words, and yet most social experience - such as fieldwork - lies beyond language. Social Experience and Anthropological Knowledge focuses on this paradox and on the actual processes leading from individual experiences in the field to the production of anthropological knowledge. The contributors emphasize the value of fieldwork in the process of knowledge production. Against the background of recent debates in anthropology on subjectivity, they challenge the distinction between subjectivity and objectivity, redefine what we should mean by 'empirical', and demonstrate the complexity of present-day epistemological problems by way of concrete examples. They trace the route from the field experience to the analytical results, showing how fieldwork enables the ethnographer to arrive at an understanding, not only of 'culture' or 'society', but also of the processes by which cultures and societies are transformed. Social Experience and Anthropological Knowledge shows a clear way out of the impasse created by postmodernism and its claim to have dismantled science. By demystifying subjectivity in the ethnographic process and re-emphasizing the vital position of fieldwork, the book will do much to renew confidence in the anthropological project of comprehending the world.

In the most comprehensive analysis to date of the world of open air marketplaces of West Africa, Gracia Clark studies the market women of Kumasi, Ghana, in order to understand the key social forces that generate, maintain, and continually reshape the shifting market dynamics. Probably the largest of its kind in West Africa, the Kumasi Central Market houses women whose positions vary from hawkers of meals and cheap manufactured goods to powerful wholesalers, who control the flow of important staples. Drawing on more than four years of field research, during which she worked alongside several influential market "Queens", Clark explains the economic, political, gender, and ethnic complexities involved in the operation of the marketplace and examines the resourcefulness of the market women in surviving the various hazards they routinely encounter, from coups d'etat to persistent sabotage of their positions from within.
