Content: I saw this article won HOTD and it sounded interesting so had to check it out. Very well written and informative Melbel. Thanks for enlightening the uninformed amongst us on ethnography. Hui (蕙) on November 26, 2013: Ethnography, Azande people..., great and rare knowledge! Never known these before. mintinfo on November 26, 2013: Observation. Ruth Benedict as well as all these other Ethnographists realized the same thing. It was easier to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of a primitive culture than to study the faults in their own cultures.
