Participant Observer

by William Foote Whyte

"A perfectly titled, beautifully detailed, candid, thoughtful, and thought-evoking autobiography by the consummate participant observer. A powerful testament to an important research style in sociology and ethnography."--Robert K. Merton, Columbia University While it documents a remarkable career, Participant Observer is also a personal chronicle in which William Foote Whyte reflects on his childhood, his education, his courageous struggles with polio and with the crises of family and academic life.
