There are compelling reasons for not rushing into asking highly specific questions from day one. First, because most fieldworkers have such an imperfect understanding of the culture during the initial weeks and months they live in a community, they often do not know enough to even ask the right types of specific questions. And, second, the quality of one’s data will vary directly with the amount of social groundwork the fieldworker has been able to lay. In other words, ethnographers must invest a considerable amount of time and energy establishing their “street cred” by allowing the local people to get to know them.
