Essays in Ethnographic Theory
The ethnographic essay provides a creative form for
new work in anthropology. Longer than a journal
article, shorter than a conventional monograph,
ethnographic essays are experiments in anthropological
thought, probing particular cases, topics, or arguments,
to propose in-depth but concentrated analyses with
unusual insight. In the past these were often published
by research institutes or academic departments, but
in recent years the style has enjoyed less space than
it deserves. Hau Books is pleased to offer room for
renewing the essay as an anthropological genre. Our
Essays in Ethnographic Theory are published as short
books, in print, ebook, and open-access PDF editions.
