Writing after betrayal
Ethnographers may experience troubling relationships while conducting research. Strained interpersonal relationships with members of the communities where ethnographers work can be caused by emotional entanglements, acts of violence, or betrayal. When harm occurs, ethnographers are faced with ethical and emotional challenges about reporting one's experience versus descriptions of social facts. This article compares desahogarse, a way of speaking …
Stewards, Businessmen, and Heroes
This paper addresses the ways in which farmers' social roles reveal complex and contradictory beliefs and attitudes about conservation.
