Chapter opening vignettes based on the author's experiences
Extensive pedagogy includes learning objectives, summaries, sign-posting and reinforcing important concepts, study questions, lists of suggested readings, thumbnail maps, and a running glossary in every chapter, plus an end-of-book glossary, and bibliography.
Two chapters unique to briefer texts on fieldwork (Ch. 3) and gender (Ch. 9) address topics that are of particular interest to beginning students.
"How Do You Read an Ethnography?" in the appendix gives students practical steps for getting the most out of reading and comparing ethnographies.
Spiced with humor, anecdotes, and an overall conversational tone, this text reflects the author's more than 35 years of award-winning teaching and her talent for reaching introductory level students.
