You might try searching for the name of the culture you are studying and leave off the word ethnography. You could also try adding the word "ethnology" to your search. Try also the Library "Everything" Search.

If you find a good book in JSTOR, try the Helmke Library Catalog, ProQuest Ebooks, or Document Delivery to find the book.
