description: As a research methodology, ethnography has firmly arrivedyet it remains the most misunderstood area of composition studies. Is it naturalistic research or teacher research or case-study research? What makes some research ethnographic and other research not? Where would this writing take place? In her new book, Wendy Bishop takes you through such questions to questions of your own, helping you make the most of your own ethnographic enterprises. The primary goal of Ethnographic Writing Research is to help you conduct your day-to-day researchwhether it means developing an informal classroom report, writing a dissertation prospectus and study, or participating in local, civic literacy research. Discussions are provided to help you read ethnographic workyour own and that of otherswith more critical sensitivity and with more insight. In tone and content, the book is at once personal, anecdotal, and professional . . .
