Every discipline in the human and social sciences could use such a book."--Hayden White, author of "Metahistory"<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>These seminal essays place ethnography at the intersection of interpretive anthropology, cultural studies, social history, travel writing, discourse theory, and textual criticism. They grapple with issues of power and poetics in contemporary situations of globalization, post-coloniality, and post-modernity.
