Summary

This book describes ethnographic fieldwork as the gradual accumulation of knowledge about something you don’t know much about to begin with, facilitated by theoretical and methodological instruments. The book provides an easy to read introduction to quite complex ideas about knowledge and the practices in which we gather it.
