ABSTRACT
Anthropological knowledge can be thought of as the outcome of a process that starts with an extended period of social interaction. Long-term fi eldwork ‘out there’ has traditionally been presented as the preferred method of anthropologists in search of the ‘native’s point of view’. In recent years the fi eld of anthropology has moved ‘home’, making organisations a typical setting. In this case, the stay in the fi eld has to be negotiated, as the researcher’s activities must be coordinated with those being researched. In the present study, my fi eldwork was limited to three short periods, in accordance with the organisation EXIT’s wishes. EXIT is a Swedish NGO that supports (former) right-wing extremists in the process of leaving the White Power Movement.
