Book excerpt: The current state of qualitative research methodological writing and practices of ethnography are in danger of losing basic necessary continuities, argue a team of sociologists from Cardiff U.

They explore these issues, setting forth their own views on such matters as autoethnography, participation observation, and styles of reporting.
