Reviews for Sex, Sexuality, and the Anthropologist
"Breaks the taboo on discussing sexuality in fieldwork, urging us to reflect on various methodological, theoretical, and personal issues it raises... Not only does this volume contribute to the mounting effort to bring conversations regarding ethnographers' sexuality into the open, but it also complicates current dialogues of both ethical standards and reflexivity."
