Mementos, Artifacts And Hallucinations From The Ethnographer's Tent

With contributions from leading researchers in the fields of anthropology, ethnomusicology, and folklore, this volume contains personal, imaginative accounts of ethnographic fieldwork that do not fit into a traditional scholarly context, but are a vital and engaging aspect of studying different cultures. Individual pieces vary from autobiographical accounts of ethnographers' experiences in the field to fictional narratives. Together they invite the reader to places across the globe, offering richly detailed portraits of informants, local cultures, and life in the field.
