"In this second edition of The Art of Fieldwork, prominent anthropologist and educational researcher Harry F. Wolcott updates his original groundbreaking text, which both challenges and petitions anthropology and its practitioners to draw both on the traditional precepts of science and on the richness of artistry in the collection, interpretation, and expression of fieldwork data. Each of the original chapters has been revised to reflect the past decade of developments in methodoloy."--BOOK JACKET.
