“This collection breaks new ground, and does so effectively, in a number of ways. It provides a detailed account of the historical, theoretical, and methodological foundations of linguistic ethnography. … the volume is highly recommended to both established linguistic ethnographers and research students who are new to the field.” (Changpeng Huan, Applied Linguistics, February, 2016)
