Hi David, list... I might recommend Mitch Duneier's Sidewalk. A breezy read that belies it's intellectual and emancipatory heft.

Thanks Peter.
Alex, thanks for your references but what I meant by critical ethnography was the use of ethnography that attempts to break open power, oppression, taken-for-granted 'realities¹, and ideologies. In this way, critical ethnography goes beyond much qualitative description of culture by also Œaction-ing¹ for change; by challenging false-consciousness and ideologies exposed through investigative examination. It has a "active & action" sense in it. It is usually seen in postcolonial science and technology studies. But I was hoping to get references that talks specifically about this methodology.
I apologize if I didn't specified it enough.
Thanks

Hi David,
Murphy & Kraidy have a book called Global Media Studies: An Ethnographic Perspective (Routledge, 2003), which may be useful to you.
Hope this helps, Peter
