Being Ethnographic: A Guide to the Theory and Practice of Ethnography
Raymond Madden
(Author)
Description
Being Ethnographic is an essential introductory guidebook to the methods and applications of doing fieldwork in real-world settings. It discusses the future of ethnography, explores how we understand identity, and sets out the role of technology in a global, networked society.Driven by classic and anecdotal case studies, this new Second Edition highlights the challenges introduced by the ethnographers′ own interests, biases and ideologies, and demonstrates the importance of methodological reflexivity. Addressing both the why and how questions of doing ethnography well, author Raymond Madden demonstrates how both theory and practice can work together to produce insights into the human condition. Filled with invaluable advice for applying ethnographic principles in the field, this fully updated text will give researchers across social sciences everything they need to walk a mile in someone else's shoes.

Reviews
With a vivid writing style, Madden uses stories from the field to illustrate how fascinating conducting ethnography can be.
--Hanne Kirstine Adriansen (01/09/2017)
This new edition is an even more excellent addition to ethnographic literature than the previous edition. With an accessible, stimulating style, it draws richly on the author's ethnographic experiences, identifying their benefits and pitfalls, and discusses ethnographic uses of technology, virtual environments and different aspects of non-human ethnography.
