Abstract
Recent U.S. government guidelines relating to the protection of human research subjects, in attempting to legislate ethics in social science research, have raised a variety of ethical problems worth critical examination in relation to ethnography. Recent liberalization of the relevant legislation does not make discussion of these issues less urgent. This article amplifies earlier discussions to include additional issues: (1) the relevance of Constitutional guarantees of freedom of the press in connection with ethnographic description; (2) the possibility of an ethnographer's notes being subpoenaed; (3) the obligation to make one's ethnographic record as useful as possible to future generations of the population studied.
