Timothy Asch & ethnographic film

"Timothy Asch and Ethnographic Film combines a biographical overview of Asch's life with critical perspectives, giving a definitive guide to his background, aims, ideas, methodologies and major projects. Beautifully illustrated with sixty photographs, and featuring articles from many of Asch's friends, colleagues and collaborators as well as an important interview with Asch himself, it is an ideal introduction to his work and to a range of key issues in ethnographic film."--Jacket.
