In this eloquently written volume Michael Agar expands the premise set forth in his very popular work The Professional Stranger. Speaking of Ethnography challenges the assumption that conventional scientific procedures are appropriate for the study of human affairs. Agar′s work is informed by a hermeneutic and phenomenological tradition, in which he questions the researcher′s own taken-for-granted procedures.
