Reviews for Being Ethnographic: A Guide to the Theory and Practice of Ethnography
An insightful and comprehensive text on the ethnographic method – a must-read for social scientists, whether students, academics or practitioners. Madden’s engaging text convincingly demonstrates the ongoing value of ethnography for making sense of our world. -- Helen Lee The craft of ethnography is fiendishly difficult to explain, but Raymond Madden does a superb job of it in this third edition of a now-classic manual. From traditional fieldwork to online ethnography to post-pandemic fieldwork, this book has it all. -- Niko Besnier
