Exploring Ethnographic Methodologies: Critical Perspectives and Participatory Approaches

This anthology features critical readings on contemporary ethnography and participatory research methodologies. It includes Clifford's exploration of "partial truths," Mascia-Lees' feminist critiques, Fine's examination of common misconceptions in ethnographic research, and Jordan's analysis of co-opted methodologies. Furthermore, it addresses ethical challenges in sex work research by Shaver, while highlighting visual documentation issues through Weinberger's discussion. Supplementary film clips provide insights into historical biases among prominent anthropologists like Malinowski and Mead, prompting reflection on credibility in ethnographic practices.
