The Ethnographic Imagination (Routledge Revivals)

Exploring the intersection of sociology and literature, this book examines how sociologists employ literary and rhetorical techniques to present their research effectively. By analyzing selected sociological texts through the lens of contemporary social theory, the author reveals the construction of arguments and the use of realism in conveying authenticity. The insights provided challenge traditional perceptions of factual accounts, highlighting the persuasive power of narrative in sociological discourse.
