ISBN: 9780820436746 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Ethnography is much more than a collection of research techniques.

Examining the ethnographic enterprise itself, "Particularities" demonstrates the power of ethnography through discrete studies of education and race.
