Editorial Reviews

Review

Far more than a how-to-do-it handbook, The Art of Fieldwork offers a rich, engaging discourse drawing from a lifetime of personal experiences. (Ritchie, Donald A. Routledge Studies In Memory And Narrative )

This is a fine introduction to the perils and pleasures of fieldwork. Broad, eclectic, and open, it deals with questions of both epistemology and technique straightforwardly and without pretension. (Salzinger, Leslie American Journal Of Sociology )

About the Author

Harry F. Wolcott is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Oregon.
