Product Description
Review
The Ethnographic I is such a rich stew--part textbook, part autoethnography, part novel, part transcript, part confession, and part manifesto--that the reader just has to sit back and enjoy the flavors. This wonderful feast, served by a master teacher, satiates with every spoonful.--Ronald J. Pelias
Product Description
Carolyn Ellis, the leading proponent of autoethnography, weaves both methodological advice and her own personal stories into an intriguing narrative about a fictional graduate course she instructs. Through Ellis's interactions with her students, you are given useful strategies for conducting a study, including the need for introspection, the struggles of the budding ethnographic writer, the practical problems in explaining results of this method to outsiders, and the moral and ethical issues that get raised in this intimate form of research.

"I" recommend this book completely.
4 April 2008
Format:Paperback
This is a fascinating read -- methodological theory presented in the form of a novel, a college prof teaching a class on a fairly new, "post-postmodern" form of reflexive qualitative writing, auto/ethnography. Could be seen as the manifesto for the sub-genre. Auto/ethnography is not embraced by all in the social sciences, such as anthropology, sociology, communications, psychology, medical health, etc., but it is growing. If the personal is political, why not the ethnographic...
If you can't take a graduate course with Ellis at USF, then you can vicariously sit in on this class through this book.

I was very interested in this book because autoethnography is difficult to do and as a research methodology its much maligned as being "navel gazing". However, there is much to learn from the intrapsychic ponderings of individuals. The internal dialogue we have with ourselves is an important source of information for us and our life trajectory that it would be useful to share. I am almost finished and really enjoy the way the author creates a novel of the methodology as a means of illustrating the progression.

The Ethnographic I:A Methodological Novel about Autoethnography
2 April 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As always and after some years in dealing with Amazon I was not disappointed. The book arrived earlier than expected and was in great condition. It was securely packaged and was intact.
I would recommend - as I always do - Amazon to any of my friends. In fact when the local book supplier was unable to fill an order I even heard him recommend Amazon to a customer.
