Читать книгу Doing Ethnographic Research - Kimberly Kirner - Страница 178

When Shavon, a graduate student in ethnoecology, first entered her field site in an Andean village, she felt a bit shy. The only Westerner there, and not yet a fluent Quechua speaker, she was greeted very early on by a young woman who was learning English. This young woman introduced her to her whole family, and her grandfather (who seemed very knowledgeable) became Shavon’s primary specialized informant for her study about high-elevation agricultural practices.
