Ethnographies
What is an Ethnography?
“An ethnography is a
first-hand descriptive work of a particular culture or ethnic group based on the immersion and participation of the anthropologist in the culture and daily life of the people who are the subject of study” (University of California, Riverside Library).
Where is the Section on Ethnography in the Library?
Because 'ethnography' is not a Library of Congress Subject Heading, Cañada College Library does not have a physical section devoted to ethnographies. They are scattered around the library depending on the geographical regions of the ethnic groups. There are also some that belong to Professor Einhorn in the Reserve Collection at the front desk of the library. Please ask to see them at the front desk.
Case Studies in Cultural Anthropology
Cañada College Library has 20 ethnographies in the Case Studies in Cultural Anthropology series. There are over 80 of these case studies throughout the Peninsula Library System. To find titles in this series, perform an “any field” search by entering "Case Studies in Cultural Anthropology.” Or check out this list.
