Unlike many edited collections, this is a coherent volume. Its authors confront the place of anthropology in today's academy, focus on methodological questions, and provide persuasive counter examples to more simplistic paradigms. -- Sharon R. Roseman, Memorial University of Newfoundland This book should be read widely, and will be a fundamental resource for training students in anthropological fieldwork and analysis. The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute Locating the Field provides a privileged glimpse into the changing strategies of experienced ethnographers faced with the fading logic of space-as-place, leaving the reader with an inspiring methodological portfolio for future ethnography. This important book contributes practicable possibilities to the ongoing discussion of how we might bring the 'global' back down to anthropological scale while managing to circumvent the dangers of reifying purely spatial delineations of the local. -- Hannah Voorhees, University of Pennsylvania, USA
