Editorial Reviews

Review

"Definitive and well rounded... Explores how anthropologists manage issues of identity and sexuality in field research and professional life. In an era when the fieldworker's positionality is critical to research and ethnographic writing, this insightful book has much to say to gay and straight researchers alike." -- Louise Lamphere, editor of Structuring Diversity

5.0 out of 5 stars Important New Perspectives, April 23, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Out in the Field: Reflections of Lesbian and Gay Anthropologists (Paperback)
Out In the Field, is an incredible resource for those interested in exploring ethnographic writing, anthropology, lesbian and gay studies, and gender studies. In this volume, different anthropologists speak about their experiences studying different cultures from a lesbian or gay persepctive. In the field of anthropology, it is challenging for lesbians and gays to decide when exposing their sexuality is important and when it could harm the acceptance of their work. Editors Ellen Lewin and Willian Leap have collected a body of works which are sensitive to the overriding concerns of lesbian and gay anthropologists and enthnographers. Most notably, these authors call out for more lesbians and gays to enter the field of anthropology because each believes there is a serious lack of information about homosexual cultures and becasue homosexual perspectives often inform studies in important new ways. Many of the authors of this book discuss their previous work documented in longer enthnographies. This volume gives a fabulous overview of the work of lesbian and gay ethnographers, and will entice you to read more of these authors' works.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dull and boring, January 30, 2008
This review is from: Out in the Field: Reflections of Lesbian and Gay Anthropologists (Paperback)
This book is pointless, boring and a waste of paper. Bunch of anthropologists sharing their tepid ruminations.
