Ethnographic Fieldwork

"This collection captures the inescapable situatedness of ethnographic field practice, in which personal commitments can both guide and mislead. Varied perspectives, many of them highly personal, provide an epistemic kaleidoscope to match the riotously emotional and sensory chaos of the field experience."
—Michael Herzfeld, Harvard University

"I was visited recently by a brilliant former student who is teaching anthropology in Tehran under challenging conditions. She asked for a foundational text to motivate her students. I pulled my copy of Robben and Sluka from my crowded shelves and presented it to her. I intend to do the same with the revised edition. What more to say?"
—George E. Marcus, Co-editor of Fieldwork Is Not What It Used To Be
