Blurb:

Chapter 8 defines an unsung hero/ethnography research essay, requiring students to identify an oft-overlooked individual, possibly a recipient of racist abuse or an underappreciated essential worker, possibly in a medical position or along the supply chain, and to interview. Then the essay involves using specific databases from the college’s library to begin a study of a related ethnography community. Again, along with a sample student essay, step-by-step instructions are included for photocopying or projecting and scoring.
