Title: Dancing histories
Description: "Dancing Histories is an ethnography of life in Ohafia, Nigeria, which serves as a guide to applying heuristic methods in ethnographic research. The book focuses on performative representations of history and ethnicity and outlines a methodological program for heuristic research.

Illustrating this approach through a series of essays, author John McCall demonstrates the potential of heuristic research methods across a wide range of issues including ethnographic method, the problem of objectivity in research, the constitution of ethnic identities, the negotiation of gender, and the construction of cultural knowledge through performance."--BOOK JACKET.
