I didn’t actually end up reading the whole thing. However, the trauma of being in this class and having to read this I think gives me a free pass to add it to my reading goal!!!

I'm taking a class on Digital Ethnography this term so this reading was assigned to acquaint us with early ethnographic methods/traditions. It is... an artifact of its time (specifically 1920's British colonialism). This text offers a side of methods alongside a heaping serving of dismissive, degrading, and racist language. After the first chapter, I skim-read the rest of the book (hence the dnf tag).

Read this for my Reading Ethnography Anthropology Course and it was intriguing but wasnt too keen on it.
