`Every now and then one stumbles across a breath of fresh air and this practical research guide is certainly one of them!.. It will be no doubt refreshing for those of us who keep going to the field and who perhaps have forgotten the human dimension of research. For those who supervise students the book will be a useful source of inspiration.... I shall certainly recommend the book to any of my students′ - Development and Change
`Development Fieldwork is an excellent examination of and preparation for development research and will be an invaluable guide to all those entering or considering fieldwork, wherever that may be′ - Progress in Development Studies
`I would strongly recommend it as a field textbook across a range of disciplines and topics. The tone is thoughtful, engaging and pragmatic, with all of the chapters contributing equally to a very high quality publication.
It is the best book I have read on fieldwork for a while. It is essential for anyone contemplating ′development′ based study, but it also contains a great deal of value and interest to geographers, sociologists and other students working in and on the West′ - Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography
′This is an outstanding book, and one that all of us engaged in fieldwork in "developing countries" will want to read and doubtless re-read. Thoughtful, relevant and consistently well-written′ - Professor Stuart Corbridge, London School of Economics and University of Miami
′An excellent overview of the pitfalls and problems of fieldwork in remote places... elegant and enjoyable, incisive and elegant... good humoured and eminently practical - the "Lonely Planet" guide to the field′ - Professor John Connell, Sydney University
′A very welcome and richly inviting review of the politics, ethics and practicalities of fieldwork, Development Fieldwork deserves reading in many ′fields′. This will surely travel far′ - James D Sidaway, National University of Singapore
′I warmly commend this guide to anyone planning or even thinking about fieldwork in the Third World. Postgraduates and academics will find it particularly good, as it not only raises an abundance of practical and logistical points but explores fundamental ethical and epistemological
concerns to an unusual degree, including issues not addressed elsewhere. The clarity and attention to detail are also very welcome, as is the ease with which the book can be navigated′ - Janet Townsend, University of Durham
`Developmental Fieldwork provides a useful guide packed with information on practical and personal (and sometimes political) matters. As with all good `rough′ guides, rather than fixing options and closing issues, the authors make it a point to suggest flexible itineraries across the terrain of the `field′. The book should in time become a well-thumbed, dog-eared volume, thrown into the haversack along with the notebook (both sorts), tape recorder, mosquito repellent, sunglasses and sturdy shoes′ -Brenda S A Yeoh, National University of Singapore
Development Fieldwork provides an indispensable new resource and guide for all students undertaking development fieldwork in the Third World.
Accessible and lively, the text:
- introduces the basics of research design and methodology together with guidance on choosing the best research methods;
- provides `hands on′ advice (practical, personal and ethical) to those preparing to enter `the field′;
- covers the initial planning and preparation stages to end writing up and tips for the successful resumption of life back home.
The authors draw upon a rich and diverse set of fieldwork experiences across the developing world (rural and urban) and utilize case studies to illustrate the many common issues and challenges that will face both new and experienced fieldwork researchers.
It will be an essential text and companion to all postgraduate and research students across the social sciences.
