Participant Observation: A Guide for Fieldworkers, Second Edition
Starting Fieldwork optimizes foundational methods covered in larger works. Further, it exposes readers to additional contours of the fieldwork enterprise, such as participant-observation in virtual places, museums and archives as field sites, the camera as methodology, photographs as evidence, the importance of note taking, and how reflexivity can enhance research. Marti's approach to and treatment of the complexities involved in doing fieldwork, including discovering the "hidden" in plain sight, will inspire and boost the confidence of prospective fieldworkers.
