Banks tells how she played the parts of the servant, the launderer, the crossing-sweeper… in order to gain a better knowledge of English society. Part stunt journalism, part autobiography, part travel narrative, the text is also an early case of participant observation, a qualitative research method in sociology. Banks deals with its main aspects: gaining entry into the group, decentering, writing about her experience, analysing her own practice. |
