A quote from the article: "The seven works explored in this essay mark a distinct turn in the intellectual history of ethnography. These books and essays ask what ethnographic materials are for, and what their future will be. They also indicate a rising tide of feminist interventions in ethnographic studies."
The new issue of the JHI features a review essay by Naomi Sussman: "Building the Future with the Past: Indigenous Authorship and the Function of Ethnography": muse.jhu.edu/pub/56/artic...
