Children : Ethnographic Encounters Hardback
Edited by Catherine Allerton
Part of the Encounters: Experience and Anthropological Knowledge series
Hardback
Description
Conducting ethnographic fieldwork with children presents anthropologists with particular challenges and limitations, as well as rewards and insights.
Children: Ethnographic Encounters presents ten vivid accounts of researchers’ experiences of working with children across a variety of cultural contexts.
Part of the Ethnographic Encounters series, the book offers honest reflections on successes as well as failures and shows that in all cases – even those that ‘failed’ – anthropologists can learn something about children’s position in their social world.
Going beyond the usual focus on North America and Europe, the text offers comparative insights into the nature of childhood in different societies.
The chapters provide first-hand accounts of fieldwork with children in diverse geographical places such as Mexico, the Ecuadorian Amazon, Rwanda, central India, Thailand, Malaysia, and China.
The book provides hope, encouragement and inspiration to anyone planning to undertake ethnographic fieldwork with children and provides important insights to students and researchers working in the growing field of anthropology of children and childhood, in childhood studies, and related fields.
