N2  - Contributed articles chiefly with reference to India; "This reader provides a cross disciplinary account of research methodology, covering the character of social research, fieldwork, ethnography, and survey research as also the ethical and ideological issues involved in doing research." "The contributions from well-known ethnographers and social scientists highlight the nature of social research, and conceptualize social reality and its dimensions. They discuss the importance of classification, the relevance of comparison and restudy in social research, and the possibility of arriving as close as possible to the subject's point of view." "This collection of essays on methodology and fieldwork is an indispensable read for students, teachers and researchers across disciplines, particularly those from sociology, social anthropology, and other branches of social sciences."--BOOK JACKET
