Writing The New Ethnography provides a foundational understanding of the writing processes associated with innovative forms of ethnographic writing. From his own experience and that of other top ethnographic writers, Goodall offers advice, examples, and exercises for every step in the ethnographic writing process, including field observation, field notes, narrative development, and editing. Frank discussions of ethics, representation, and academic institutions prepare students for difficult dilemmas they may face as writers in the social sciences and humanities. Experienced ethnographers and students alike will find their writing enriched by this lively instruction.
