Overview

This superbly produced, four-volume boxed set covers all the current issues and thinking in the burgeoning field of ethnography. The collection makes available in one major work of reference the seminal articles and sections of books that define the subject today. Ethnography has attracted a growing amount of self-reflection and this set draws together the major issues confronting the discipline and reflects the growth of interest among ethnographers in the nature of their craft. * Alan Bryman's introduction outlines the principal themes explored in the four volumes and relates these to the selected items. Thus, it serves as both an introduction and a guide to the volumes. This collection will become an indispensable reference tool for all students, academics, and professionals, who pursue ethnographic research. The aim has been to include: * a comprehensive range of topics * both anthropological and sociological selections * classic and less well known selections * a significant presence of both European and North American writers * particularly well-known writers on ethnography, such as Atkinson, Brewer, and Fielding from Europe and North American writers such as Denzin, Van Maanen, Whyte, Geertz, Lofland and Lofland, and Fine * to complement Atkinson et al's Handbook of Ethnography (Sage, 2001)
