Robert A. Rubinstein
-Doing Fieldwork warrants our attention because its message,
bolstered by the editor's new introduction, is that the 1930's
heralded a paradigm shift in anthropology, and further that this
shift in fact addressed the same contenious issues raised in
today's so-called crisis of representation.- --Hispanic American
Historical Review -A candid, detailed window into the fieldwork and
analytical thinking of two of our most influential anthropologists.
A gem for students of method and theory in ethnography.- --Susan C.
M. Scrimshaw, University of Illinois at Chicago -This lively
exchange of letters reveals how, by batting hunches and hypotheses
back and forth, often agreeing, sometimes disagreeing, Redfield and
Tax developed and sharpened theories (always grounded in
ethnographic data) relating to such themes as worldview, race
relations, caste vs. class, and acculturation. The book provides
fascinating insights into the differences between the fieldwork
experience in pre- and post-World War II years. It is essential
reading for anyone interested in the history of social science.-
