Illustrating this approach through a series of essays, author John McCall demonstrates the potential of heuristic research methods across a wide range of issues including ethnographic method, the problem of objectivity in research, the constitution of ethnic identities, the negotiation of gender, and the construction of cultural knowledge through performance."--Jacket.".
