Abstract
First and foremost we want this book to be a practical guide. We want to show readers the real experiences of ethnographers conducting this type of research, particularly as a vast majority of contemporary texts centred on ethnographic work still present it as much ‘cleaner’ than our experiences would suggest. Elements such as gaining access, gathering data or exiting the field are spoken about as straightforward once-and-for-all events, and it is rare to read of the complexities and dilemmas behind building relationships within communities. Rarer still are insights into feelings of vulnerability and anxiety from ethnographers, which at best obscures an important discussion, and at worst creates the image of ethnographers being all-knowing connoisseurs in the field; and emotionally grounded ‘ideal-type’ individuals. This, for newcomers and experienced fieldworkers alike, is problematic and provides the counterpoint for this text.
