About the Book
Theory and Practice of Ethnography is an anthology of research papers contributed by scholars from India and abroad. The book focuses on the methodological tools of ethnography, a research approach that explores the concept of "the other." The contributions explore the deprivation—economic, social, cultural, and linguistic—of marginalized groups in Indian society, such as women, tribals, and the downtrodden. The book discusses the theoretical and empirical aspects of language, literature, culture, history, and social development. Ethnography is portrayed as both a process and a product in understanding the social dynamics of these groups.

This volume is a valuable resource for students, researchers, teachers, and policymakers in fields like anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, public policy, history, literature, applied linguistics, folklore, and development studies.
