It says that the power of etnography is its openness. It enables the readers to capture and to question the complexity of the realities the writer pretend to know.
Reality is constructed, so writing an etnography piece is about constructing the constructed reality. In another book about etnography, it says this triple layers: to understand the understood understanding!

it's confusing, huh? To me it's easy to start the ethnography research. But, when you come to analyse the data... as you said 'to understand the understood understanding' that's where the challange is. it's not easy to construct the constructed reality.
