David M. Fetterman captures the ethnographic imagination with the Fourth Edition of his popular text, Ethnography: Step-by-Step. He shares new case examples of his work to highlight the illuminating power of reflexivity and theory.?The new edition expands the discussion of critical concepts such as culture, contextualization, emic and etic distinctions, and symbols.
