Summary of a recent book by Jean Lave and Thomas P. Gibson called Apprenticeship in critical ethnographical practice (2011) (it's too bad they don't post these books online so we can all read them). "It traces Lave’s journey as an ethnologists. Her initial studies of apprentices have contributed to a better understanding of how learning occurs in the real world. This book details her research of Vai and Gola tailors’ apprentices in Liberia in the 1970s. Threaded through the book is the practice of ethnography, the many facets of becoming a researcher through doing field work."
