The Madness(es) of Reading and Writing Ethnography.

Heath, Shirley Brice

Anthropology and Education Quarterly, v24 n3 p256-68 Sep 1993

Discusses various responses to the author's book "Ways with Words--Language, Life and Work in Communities and Classrooms" (1983). Describes how these reactions have led the author to see things in the work that she had not seen before. Strengths and weaknesses of the book she identifies have implications for the conduct of future ethnographic research. (SLD)
