“…Therefore, not only was there a lack of understanding of these groups, but most importantly the theories developed via classical ethnography perpetuated their marginalised and oppressed status (Faubion, 2001;Skeggs, 2001;Prior, 2007).…”

The current paper discusses the historical evolvement of ethnography, identifies the various genres that have developed and argues that the development of ethnographic genres has been informed by a variety of epistemologies that have different aims, methods of data collection and analysis, and styles of presentation. The different genres of ethnography are systematised and categorised into three broad categories, namely classical ethnography, critical ethnography and interpretive ethnography. Each one of these genres are analysed and linked to the unique aims, methods of data collection and analysis, and styles of presentation that are congruent with the epistemology that informs it. Furthermore, it is asserted that different ethnographic genres require different criteria for judging their validity and these criteria should be contextualised and related to the epistemology that informed the specific genre, rather than using a set of unifying criteria for judging all ethnographic studies. Finally, this paper develops a series of steps that coherently link the epistemology, the aims, the data collection, the data analysis, the researcher's representation in the study, and the presentation of the study for each genre so as to enable researchers and readers of ethnographic studies to accordingly assess the validity of each ethnographic genre.

“…Pieterse's model of ethnic domination stresses the dialectic relationship between power and culture/identity (Pieterse 2007, p. 18). Interpreting the Navajo-Hopi Dispute through Social Identity Theory would emphasize the issue of cultural identity for the Hopis and for the Navajos (Augsburger 1992;Avruch 1998;Clark 1989;Dubinskas 1992;Faubion 2007;von Feigenblatt 2009;Pieterse 2007Pieterse , 2008Pruitt & Kim 2004, p. 29). Both tribes asserted that the protection of their culture and their way of life was a very important issue behind the land dispute (Benedek 1999).…”

This interpretive essay provides a socio-cultural explanation of the Navajo-Hopi Land Dispute based on the rich narrative account of the conflict by Benedek (1999). A macrolevel of analysis is taken so as to identify the general trends of the conflict. SPITCEROW, the acronym for a simple analytical instrument, is used to identify the main components of the overall conflict. Finally an analytical section explains the conflict through the use of the Social Identity Theory and supports it by using a broad cultural approach. The paper concludes that identity needs were at the core of the conflict and that once those issues were addressed and satisfactorily resolved, secondary issues were amicably negotiated and a settlement was reached.
