“The remarkable transformations over the past thirty years in the nonetheless emblematic research process that still defines anthropologists have never been explored so comprehensively, so instructively, and so passionately by a gifted, imaginative teacher to those who become anthropologists today in a historically key department.” - George E. Marcus, coeditor of (Fieldwork Is Not What It Used to Be: Learning Anthropology's Method in a Time of Transition) "This challenging and stimulating monograph is intended for faculty involved in training graduate students in ethnographic practice. . . . Highly recommended." - W. Kotter (Choice) "Multisituated is a passionate and eloquent contribution to contemporary discussions about anthropology’s pasts, presents, and possible futures that deserves to be widely read and keenly debated." - Stuart McLean (American Ethnologist)
