Item description from seller

XVIII, 203 Seiten. Originalkarton. Einband leicht berieben, papierbedingt gebräunt. - Glazer takes the reader through the stages of the field research process: deciding on the project and the method; considering the problem of gaining acceptance and establishing a legitimate identity (while facing the everpresent suspicions of those studied); learning one's way around; getting behind the scenes or, as Erving Goffman puts it, "backstage"; dealing with data; and, finally, considering the matter of what knowledge for whom. Moreover, Glazer introduces the reader to a number of well-known (and several lesser-known but equally important) studies and their authors: Whyte and Berreman, Elliot Liebow and Gans, Pierre L. van den Berghe and his work in South Africa, Arlene Kaplan Daniels' research on the military, Laud Humphreys' studies of impersonal sex, Project Camelot and its critics, and many others. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.
