Making camp: Social reproduction in temporary agricultural labour
This article examines how a group of Mexican male agricultural guestworkers in the United States manage their basic needs and transform their labour camp into something resembling a home. These efforts do not happen automatically, but instead require cooperation and innovation under challenging circumstances, including gruelling work requirements, rudimentary housing and separation from family and friends. Detailing these quotidian activities off…
Isolation and Interaction in Temporary Agricultural Labor
Shadowing: Warrants for Intersituational Variation in Ethnography
This article makes the case for shadowing as ethnographic methodology: focusing attention on what occurs as interlocutors move among settings and situations. Whereas ethnographers often zoom in on one principal set of situations or site, we argue that intersituational variation broadens and deepens the researcher’s ethnographic account as well as affording important correctives to some common inferential pitfalls. We provide four warrants for sha…
Going Out: A Sociology of Public Outings
In this article we propose a framework for description and analysis of public life by treating 'outings' as a unit of sociological analysis. Studying outings requires bracketing a concern with bounded places and isolated encounters. Instead, descriptions of outings track people as they organize trips 'out,' including their preparations, turning points, and post hoc reflections. We emphasize how people understand and contextualize their time in pu…

This article offers a detailed analysis of a neighborhood dispute over fencing a public park. Unlike the archetypal turf battles between longstanding and new neighborhood residents described in previous research, here the daily visits of Latino “outsiders” coming into a local public space produce conflict over park usage and control. The usually cited conditions for conflict, such as reactionary residents resisting ethnic transition and protectin…

Through archival research, interviews, and ethnographic fieldwork, including participation in a local ethnic league, the author was able to reconst…
