Summary

Chapter 3 presents an overview of work carried out prior to the emergence of rapid ethnographies. It briefly goes over approaches such as rapid rural appraisals (RRA), participatory rural appraisals (PRA), rapid ethnographic assessments (REA), rapid assessment procedures (RAP), rapid assessment response and evaluation (RARE), rapid appraisals, rapid qualitative inquiry (RQI) and rapid evaluation. The purpose of the chapter is to situate rapid ethnographies within a wider field of rapid research, demonstrating the diversity of approaches and their rich history. The chapter also makes comparisons across rapid approaches to highlight their characteristic features and trends that have developed in the way in which we do rapid research.
