I make no pretense to be a positivist writer. Nor do I claim to be writing a rational and objective narrative, lam trying to understand what it means to do fieldwork and to be a subject of fieldwork. My writing is rooted in the experience of being both a researcher and the object of research. It deals with issues of how truth is seen, perceived, lived, and told; how experiences are translated from lived reality to discursive thought. These are questions I wrestle with constantly.
