Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Carolyn Ellis, the leading proponent of autoethnography, weaves both methodological advice and her own personal stories into an intriguing narrative about a fictional graduate course she instructs. Through Ellis's interactions with her students, you are given useful strategies for conducting a study, including the need for introspection, the struggles of the budding ethnographic writer, the practical problems in explaining results of this method to outsiders, and the moral and ethical issues that get raised in this intimate form of research.

5.0 out of 5 stars "I" recommend this book completely., April 4, 2008
By Michael Hemmingson (Ross Island, Antarctica) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a fascinating read -- methodological theory presented in the form of a novel, a college prof teaching a class on a fairly new, "post-postmodern" form of reflexive qualitative writing, auto/ethnography. Could be seen as the manifesto for the sub-genre. Auto/ethnography is not embraced by all in the social sciences, such as anthropology, sociology, communications, psychology, medical health, etc., but it is growing. If the personal is political, why not the ethnographic...

If you can't take a graduate course with Ellis at USF, then you can vicariously sit in on this class through this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ethnographic I:A Methodological Novel about Autoethnography, April 2, 2007
By S. M. Bardy (Adelaide South australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As always and after some years in dealing with Amazon I was not disappointed. The book arrived earlier than expected and was in great condition. It was securely packaged and was intact.
I would recommend - as I always do - Amazon to any of my friends. In fact when the local book supplier was unable to fill an order I even heard him recommend Amazon to a customer.
