The essays encompass ethnographic fieldwork in Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, and other populations, addressing such topics as the fluidity of the anthropologist's own religious identity, objectivity versus subjectivity, the issue of reflexivity in ethnography, and the multi-positionality of the researcher. 606 $aAnthropology of religion$xResearch 606 $aEthnology$xFieldwork 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAnthropology of religion$xResearch. 615 0$aEthnology$xFieldwork. 676 $a306.6 701 $aCrane$b Hillary K.$f1969-$0994580 701 $aWeibel$b Deana L.$f1969-$0994581 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462604703321 996 $aMissionary impositions$92277646 997 $aUNINA
