THICK DESCRIPTION AND VERBATIM QUOTATIONS
Thick description and verbatim quotations are the most identifiable features of
ethnographic field notes, reports, articles, and books. Ethnographers take great
pains to describe a cultural scene or event in tremendous detail. The aim is to
convey the feel and the facts of an observed event. Ideally, the ethnographer
shares the participant's understanding of the situation with the reader. Thick
