Revised edition of the authors' Ethnography, 2007.

There are complaints that media coverage of social and educational research is limited and highly distorted. Exploring this issue in depth, this book analyzes British media reports of a research review dealing with ethnic inequalities in educational achievement. It covers education, media studies, cultural studies, sociology and social policy.

Written by one of the leading figures in ethnographic research in the UK, this book addresses the key issues and problems surrounding this research tradition. The continuing interest in such research has meant that much has been written on how to do it but very little on how to read and interpret ethnographic studies
