Editorial Reviews
Book Description

In an increasingly globalized world, how is the nature of ethnographic fieldwork changing? Constructing the Field gathers together diverse case studies from across North America and Europe to offer fresh perspectives on contemporary fieldwork. Contributors give a thorough appraisal of what fieldwork is and should be, challenging the idea of "the field" as an entity separate from the ethnographer's everyday life. Timely, accessible and comprehensive, this book will be an essential resource for students and scholars of anthropology.
