VG. ¶ Ethnographers have continually held up their art as a counterpoint to the cold, authoritative `scientific' work by traditional social scientists.

Patricia Clough challenges that assertion by proposing that traditional ethnographic writing shows the same narrative structure and authoritative stance as other social science writing, stemming from to the 19th century narrative novel. For those interested in the presentation of ethnographic research this will be an important statement" - publisher's description.
