Questioning Ethnographies brings together papers by Phil Cohen written over a 10 year period, many of them hitherto unpublished. The book makes a specific intervention into the debate about the value, purpose and effectiveness of ethnography as a research method. Spanning a diverse range of subjects: from visual ethnography to crime narratives; auto/biography to playground cultures; cultural geography to collective memory, the book at once bears witness to people's capacity to create new meanings out of the raw materials in their everyday lives and explores the difficulties and importance of the ethnographic project.
