The Shadow Side of Fieldwork: Exploring the Unseen Aspects of Ethnographic Research This book examines the often-overlooked aspects of ethnographic fieldwork, revealing how these hidden elements shape our understanding and representation of others. By exploring the personal and professional challenges faced by researchers, McLean and Leibing introduce a rigorous approach to ethnographic research that prioritizes honesty and responsibility. The authors consider the value and limitations of addressing the personal in ethnographic research, including the role of the anthropologist's own subjectivity in the field. This critical discussion aims to heighten confidence in anthropological knowledge and promote more nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between researchers and their subjects.
