This is a discussion assignment. For this this assignment I am tasked to answer the prompt below:
As was discussed in the weekly chapter and lecture, ethnographers face a number of challenges when
doing field work. This ranges from personal challenges and interaction with their informants to ethic
considerations. Using Borshay Lee's article "Eating Christmas in the Kalahari" , please explain in detail what
challenge/s he faced and how he handled it. Be sure to give at least one example of what was particularly
difficult or hard for him in terms of getting information and in terms of personal experience. Did you notice
anything with regards to the ethics or methods he used that might explain his experience? What evidence
did you see in his writing for ethnographic reflexivity?(250 words)
