Item description from seller

244 pages. This stimulating and refreshing study, written by one of the leading commenta tors in the field, provides novel answers to these crucial questions. What's Wro ng With Ethnography provides a fresh look at the rationale for and distinctivene ss of ethnographic research in sociology, education and related fields, and succ eeds in slaying a number of currently fashionable sacred cows. Relativism, criti cal theory, the uniqueness of the case study and the distinction between qualita tive and quantitative research are all examined and found wanting as a basis for informed ethnography. The policy and political implications of ethnography are a particular focus of attention. The author compels the reader to reexamine some basic methodological assumptions in an exciting way, Martin Bulmer, London Scho ol of Economics.
