Review # 1 was written on 2008-10-25 00:00:00 Jean-pierre Lord Feminism, ethnographic study, postmodernism, and evocative ethnography…of course I enjoyed it! In particular, I enjoyed the creative/imaginative piece. I thought it was very compelling, and it made a strong case for evocative ethnography and autoethnography, both of which are methodologies I am passionate about. My only critique is that I would have liked fewer field notes and more commentary about them. Field notes can be dry to read if you are not the researcher herself, and more commentary would have helped me better understand how she wrote both her traditional academic piece and her more evocative piece. Overall, I loved the book, especially the parts where she discussed how feminist theory and postmodern theory inform her work. I am seeing more and more how feminism affects my understandings and my daily life, so I could relate to these ruminations.

Review # 2 was written on 2021-02-20 00:00:00 Mark Mcewen As a feminist, wannabe postmodernist and lover of ethnographic research, I should have loved this book. It had some very interesting points. I had to read it in a short period of time, so perhaps if I had more time I would have been able to fully appreciate it, but it was just a bit boring.
