Abstract:
Takes a critical look at the developments and key issues in fieldwork in Anthropology. This book features various ethnographic studies that provide ways of looking at the concepts of 'locality' and 'site'. It shows that anthropologists are well-placed to examine and critique the totalizing assumptions behind these notions
