Description
Routledge Revivals What's Wrong With Ethnography? (1992) offers a thought-provoking examination of the principles and practices of ethnographic research in sociology, education, and related fields. Martyn Hammersley challenges common assumptions about relativism, critical theory, case studies, and qualitative/quantitative research methods.
The book focuses on the policy and political implications of ethnography, encouraging readers to re-evaluate their understanding of this research approach. By doing so, it provides a fresh perspective on the role of ethnography in informing our understanding of social phenomena.
