This paper directs its attention to a study of interminority hostility by joining two competing methodological traditions — fieldwork and survey research. I examine the following contributions of fieldwork to survey research in the study of black anti‐Semitism: (a) selecting a suitable research site and sampling strategy, (b) generating theoretical clues, (c) garnering clues for data collection, and (d) analysis of data. In so doing, I am calling for a new style of research where both methods become the common mode of study.
