What are some good ethnographies?

Question

I am trying to find an ethnography that is easy to read. Im trying to find an ethnography based on culture or even if possible on the study of Hispanic people.

Answer 1

get a life!

Answer 2

I read an ethnography entitled "Yellow."  It was relatively easy to read, but not about Hispanics.

Answer 3

There are some really easy to read ethnographies on hmong culture can't reference anything sorry, just google it. Also, anything by Clifford Geertz is easy to read but some complain he is too post modern...for Latino try looking for anything on street gangs, very interesting.

Answer 4

i think meads work (eg coming of age in samoa) and napolean chagnons (eg yanomami from brasil and venezuela) are quite easy to understand although a bit outdated.

philippe bourgois and his fieldwork in east harlem 'el barrio' (1985) and many other of his works focus on hispanic people
