Preview Ethnographies in Pan Pacific Research: Tensions and Positionings
Ethnographies in Pan Pacifi c Research The book is about exciting ethnographic happenings in the vibrant and growing global interface that includes Australia, New Zealand, and some of the Asian geographical regions, as well as—more broadly—the global South. It explores ethnographic writing as culture(s) (re)produced, posi- tionalities of authors, tensions between authors and others, multi-faceted groups, and co-productions of these works. The contributors describe and discuss a variety of topical areas of interest, from Facebook to memory work, from children’s sexuality to urban racism, from meanings of Indigenous knowledge to how communities can come together to retain what is valu- able to them. The authors also locate themselves and others (positionings) in the research hierarchies (tensions). This is a valuable guide to the effects of twenty-fi rst-century ethnography on the qualitative research project. Robert E.
