"A clear, comprehensive, and forceful description of the history,
theory, and practice of collaborative ethnography, The Chicago
Guide to Collaborative Ethnography propels anthropological practice
into the social and political vortex of twenty-first-century social
life. Luke Eric Lassiter complements long-standing discussions of
the ethics of fieldwork practice with an insightful description of
the complex and varied practices of collaborative reading and
writing. Artfully filled with illustrative examples of the impact
of collaboration on ethnographic research, this important and
timely book is a must read for any scholar who plans to conduct
social research."--Paul Stoller, West Chester University and Temple

"This is a user friendly, accessible, and highly effective
treatment of the practice of collaborative ethnography. Because of
the changing politics and circumstances for doing fieldwork
anywhere in the world, collaboration has needed to become an even
more conscious component of method rather than just an awareness of
mere critical sensitivity. The Chicago Guide to Collaborative
Ethnography is the first work to tackle the problem of shifting
collaboration as part of the ideology of fieldwork. Here, Luke Eric
Lassiter makes it part of the norms and forms of practice rather
than its secret or unspoken condition. He thus recuperates
collaboration and brings it from the ideology of fieldwork to an
integral and explicit form of method."--George Marcus, Rice
