"An essential tool for budding social scientists, Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes presents a series of guidelines, suggestions, and practical advice for creating useful fieldnotes in a variety of settings, demystifying a process often assumed to be intuitive and impossible to teach. Using actual unfinished notes as examples, the authors illustrate options for composing, reviewing, and working fieldnotes into finished texts. They discuss different organizational and descriptive strategies and show how transforming direct observations into vivid descriptions results not simply from good memory but from learning to envision scenes as written. This new edition features updated discussions of race, class, and gender, new sections on coding programs and revising first drafts, and new examples of working notes."-- Publisher's description.
