-
This book is the first textbook to address the shared fieldwork methods used by both the fields of folklore and ethnomusicology. Information will be relevant to anthropological fieldwork courses as well.
-
It is a significant update to the fieldwork textbooks currently being used in folklore courses, which describe how to tape record interviews. The book overs pre-, during, and post-fieldwork planning, issues, and organization.
-
It is written accessibly for upper-level undergraduate classes, graduate field methods classes, and includes information for the lay researcher as well.
-
Another important market will be state folklore programs which may purchase the handbook for employees and volunteers and recommend it anyone who approaches them about how to do this kind of research. Most states have a state folklorist who will be interested in this.
