Who are its fiercest critics?  Does ethnography have a future?  Ethnography is one of the principal methods of qualitative research and has a long-established tradition of use in the social sciences. However  the literature on ethnography has become a battleground as ethnography is attacked from within and without the qualitative tradition. Post-modern critics attack the methodological status of ethnography and challenge the importance of its representations of reality  and others argue that globalization narrows its application as localism disappears.  Ethnography provides a robust defence of this research method and establishes its continued relevance in the social sciences. It sets out the competing methodological bases of ethnography and details its different uses as a research method. The author offers guidelines for good practice in the research process  as well as advice on the analysis  interpretation and presentation of ethnographic data. Although written as a textbook  the contents are research led  informed by the authors own extensive experience of undertaking ethnographic research in dangerous and sensitive locations in Northern Ireland and elsewhere. The result is a lively and engaging read on an essential topic for both students and researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67924148322357,"sku":"ByrdShop_0335202683","price":99.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780335202683.jpg?v=1794129400","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/ethnography-9780335202683","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
