Approaches to issues of how, why, and with whom ethnographers establish and maintain "rapport" have often assumed that gaining entry, establishing trust, and maintaining relations with informants would reveal other worlds through the "truth" of their words. But what of contested social worlds where the contradictions and contestations between others' words reveal other worlds?
