| Description: |
The contributors to this book enlarge the area of ethnographic writing by using their own experiences. The pieces use memoirs, poetry, photography and other media to tackle areas which ethnographic writing usually finds difficult to handle. |
| Synopsis: |
What is it like to have lived with bulimia for most of your life? To have a mother who is retarded? To fight a health insurance company in order to survive breast cancer? Carolyn Ellis and Arthur P. Bochner have assembled innovative pieces which tackle these and other difficult questions, enlarging the space to practice ethnographic writing as the stories are told through memoirs, poetry, photography, and other creative forms usually associated with the arts. The authors demonstrate how ethnographic data can be converted into memorable experiences that readers can use in the classroom and everyday life. |
