This book offers an array of techniques to study people on the move, and is addressed to all social scientists interested in fieldwork as a way of grasping phenomena typical of the late modernity.

Läs mer
Its starting point is that present times require different metaphors than static "cultures", "organizations" or even "societies". It is time to start constructing a mobile ethnology, that is knowledge about people, objects and ideas that circulate globally. The present text offers suggestions concerning the ways such construction may take.
Truly innovative books on ethnographic methods are very rare. Barbara Czarniawska?s chievement is to have produced a book, based on her wide research experience, which is innovative, important and engaging. Shadowing will be essential reading for students and researchers for many years to come. - David Silverman, Sociology Department, Goldsmiths College and Management Department, King?s College (both University of London)
