People obstruct investigations and hide evidence. They shelve complaints, silence dissent, and even forget their own past and deny having done so. How can we learn about a community when its members resist so strongly? The answer is that the resistance itself is sometimes the key. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMichel Anteby explains how community members often disclose more than intended when they close ranks and create obstacles. He draws insights from diverse stories of resistance by uncooperative participants--from Nazi rocket scientists and Harvard professors to Disney union busters and people who secure cadavers for medical school dissection--to reveal how field resistance manifests itself and how researchers can learn from it. He argues that many forms of resistance are retrospectively telling, and that these forms are the routine products, not by-products, of the field. That means that resistance mechanisms are not only indicative of something else happening; instead, they often are the very data points that can shed light on how participants make sense of their worlds. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn essential guide for ethnographers, sociologists, and all field researchers seeking access, \u003ci\u003eThe Interloper\u003c\/i\u003e shares practical and theoretical insights into the value of having the door slammed in your face.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichel Anteby\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of management and organizations and (by courtesy) of sociology at Boston University.
