From NEW YORK FOLKLORE (Vol. 6, Nos. 3-4):
"When I was in Mississippi on a collecting project, an informant asked me, "How can a New Yorker study Mississippians?" I told him that because of our differences I could recognize traditions he took for granted, and because of our similarities I could understand many other traditions. He seemed quite satisfied with my answer, but the fieldworker implicitly faces this difficult question in every field situation."
— (from "Reflections on Field Research in the Folklife Sciences" by Simon J. Bronner)
