Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
"WRITING ANTHROPOLOGY gathers fifty three essays on writing from leading anthropologists
on their approach to writing and its current practice in the field. In the past several
decades, as anthropologists have grappled with questions of how to ethically portray
their subjects, ethnographic writing styles have also changed from a detached, objective
voice to one that is more humanistic and self-reflexive. To explore these changes
in writing styles and approaches, Carole McGranahan curated a series for the blog
Savage Minds: Notes and Queries in Anthropology on the craft of writing and anthropology.
This anthology collects expanded versions of these essays, as well as new additions,
and raises wide-ranging questions about what it means to write ethnographically. The
book is divided into ten sections: Ruminations, Writing Ideas, Telling Stories, On
Responsibility, The Urgency of Now, Writing With, Writing Against, Academic Authors,
Ethnographic Genres, Becoming and Belonging, and Writing and Knowing. Essays include
Ruth Behar on reading as a writer, Adia Benton on how the passage of time can create
fuller ethnographic accounts, and Yarimar Bonilla on the temporality of reading and
writing in the digital age. Other contributors include Press authors such as Anand
Pandian, Lauren Berlant, Kathleen Stewart, Stuart McLean, and Kristen Ghodsee. This
book will be of interest to students and scholars of anthropology and creative writing"
