Carolyn Ellis, the leading proponent of these methods, does not disappoint. She weaves both methodological advice and her own personal stories into an intriguing narrative about a fictional graduate course she instructs. In it, you learn about her students and their projects and understand the wide array of topics and strategies that fall under the label autoethnography. Through Ellis's interactions with her students, you are given useful strategies for conducting a study, including the need for introspection, the struggles of the budding ethnographic writer, the practical problems in explaining results of this method to outsiders, and the moral and ethical issues that get raised in this intimate form of research. Anyone who has taken or taught a course on ethnography will recognize these issues and appreciate Ellis's humanistic, personal, and literary approach toward incorporating them into her work. A methods text or a novel? The Ethnographic 'I' answers yes to both.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The Ethnographic I serves as a useful text to engage the issues that autoethnography raises both as genre and alternative discourses for authoring self and others.--Qualitative Social Research<br><br>The Ethnographic I is such a rich stew--part textbook, part autoethnography, part novel, part transcript, part confession, and part manifesto--that the reader just has to sit back and enjoy the flavors. This wonderful feast, served by a master teacher, satiates with every spoonful.--Ronald J. Pelias, Southern Illinois University<br><br>WOW! Carolyn Ellis's book has accomplished an extraordinarily difficult feat--a textbook that superbly covers contemporary issues for qualitative researchers and tells a story. She has, indeed, written a methodological novel. It is engaging and educational--a treasure I will be sharing with my graduate methods seminar because I want them to have the experience of Carolyn's teaching, her autoethnography, and her invitation to join the larger community of qualitative researchers. Wow!--Laurel Richardson, Ohio State University<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Carolyn Ellis is professor of communication and sociology in the Department of Communication at the University of South Florida.
