First sentence: In the joint anthropology and sociology department where I teach, students have frequently asked me somewhat hesitantly, assuming they ought to already know the answer, 'What, after all, is the difference between sociology and anthropology?'
Description: In an increasingly globalised world, how is the nature of ethnographic fieldwork changing? In this book, anthropologists provide a thorough and critical appraisal of what fieldwork is and what it should be.
