Contributions consider research problems and their solutions, giving novice researchers a keyhole view of their respective fields. They discuss each aspect of the research act from establishing oneself in the fieldwork setting to presentation and representation issues. Four major sections cover: pursuing intimate familiarity and the problem of membership; issues in methodological practice; ethics, intervention, and emotionality; and ethnographic text and ethnographic voice.
