Chapter 11

Climb Up

Keith V. Bletzer

Abstract

This chapter explores some behind-the-scenes aspects of fieldwork (team viewer approach). Presentation of the material serves as a textual break between the conclusion and the first ten chapters that examine facets of agricultural labor and drug/alcohol use. The chapter narrates a few situations experienced by the fieldworker, where encounter with law enforcement took place for whatever reason. A big idea in the later portions of the chapter is the strategy basic to ethnography of spending engaged time with “research subjects”.
