Description: "Fieldwork Under Fire is a path-breaking collection of essays that explores the dynamics of sociological violence from within. Written by anthropologists who have been in the midst of violent conflict, these essays combine theoretical, ethnographic, and methodological points of view to illuminate the processes and solutions that characterize life in dangerous places. They describe the first, often harrowing, experience of violence, the personal and professional problems that arise as troubles escalate; and the often surprising creative strategies people use to survive the traumatic and the unpredictable."--Book cover.
