Comparing Ethnographies presents cross-national comparisons that give researchers and students a fresh look at familiar concepts. How does it matter, for example, to think in terms of ""majorities"" rather than ""minorities"", ""migrants"" rather than ""immigrants"", or ""intercultural education"" rather than ""multicultural education""? How does indigenous education or the work of teachers look different to ethnographers from differnt countries of the Americas? This engaging new volume includes essays from experts throughout the Americas that help readers understand and learn from ethnographic educational research conducted across the Western Hemisphere, and also includes a practical guide to finding the relevant literature.
