Urban ethnography is the firsthand study of city life by investigators who immerse themselves in the worlds of the people about whom they write. Since its inception in the early twentieth century, this great tradition has helped define how we think about cities and city dwellers.
The past few decades have seen an extraordinary revival in the field, as scholars and the public at large grapple with the increasingly complex and pressing issues that affect the ever-changing American city-from poverty to the immigrant experience, the changing nature of social bonds to mass incarceration, hyper-segregation to gentrification. As both a method of research and a form of literature, urban ethnography has seen a notable and important resurgence.
This renewed interest demands a clear and comprehensive understanding of the history and development of the field to which this volume contributes by presenting a selection of past and present contributions to American urban ethnographic writing. Beginning with an original introduction highlighting the origins, practices, and significance of the field, editors Mitchell Duneier, Philip Kasinitz, and Alexandra Murphy guide the reader through the major and fascinating topics on which it has focused -- from the community, public spaces, family, education, work, and recreation, to social policy, and the relationship between ethnographers and their subjects.
An indispensable guide, The Urban Ethnography Reader provides an overview of how the discipline has grown and developed while offering students and scholars a selection of some of the finest social scientific writing on the life of the modern city.
我果然比较喜欢 meta 讨论,最后两章讲田野者与田野对象的关系以及田野志的意义最得我心,其次喜欢讲 doorman 或者洗衣店华人移民的文章。没全读完,有些话题不感兴趣。看到不少以前读过全文的书被节选了,看来我也是读了不少城市田野志。

评分按照话题分类,也力求平衡各个时期的民族志。Mitch和Phil用这本书新开了一门课,和以往手把手教的实践课不同,这门课就更偏向方法论和对文献本身的讨论,比如reflexivity,structrue/agency debate和民族志本身的发展。选集里包括了很多他们俩自己指导的系里学生的民族志,总之就一直跟我们讲这些都是博士论文,所以你们也写得出来= =同时Mitch也一直很务实地想要展现怎么通过写民族志找到工作,大概也是对定量当道表示无奈。话说回来还是觉得节选民族志是件比较艰难的事情,要不是一边看一边也听他们讲各篇的大概背景,只看一个章节很容易误解作者的意思,或者轻易地批判他们缺乏某种视角。
