This book provides a gateway to anthropological thought and knowledge by teaching the essential skill of reading and interpreting ethnography. Laying bare the central conventions of ethnographic writing, the book shows how to understand and evaluate ethnographic texts, critique them originally, identify their core ideas and transfer these to other contexts. Including excerpts from key ethnographies and balanced and progressive reader activities, it matches popular course requirements and teaches an independent approach to this vital element of study. Reading exercises, a timeline, glossary and full chapter summaries also provide interactive resources for coursework and exam revision.

How to Read Ethnography is an essential guide to approaching anthropological texts. It helps students to cultivate the skills they need to critically examine and understand how ethnographies are built up, as well as to think anthropologically and develop an anthropological imagination of their own. The authors reveal how ethnographically-informed anthropology plays a distinctive and valuable role in comprehending the complexity of the world we live in. This fully revised second edition includes fresh excerpts from key texts for analysis and comparison along with lucid explanations. In addition to concerns with argument, authority, and the relationship between theory and data, the book engages with the purpose, value, and accountability of ethnographic texts, as well as with their reception and usage. A brand new chapter looks at the kinds of collaboration between informants/consultants and anthropologists that go into the making of ethnographic writing. (Provided by publisher)
