My own recently completed ethnographic study of a poor public housing development in Chicago provides the empirical frame for an examination of the social production of the ethnographer from the informants' point of view. I argue that reconstructing the informants' point of view - in this case their perceptions of the fieldworker as, variously, academic hustler, `nigger just like us' and `Arab' - can aid the researcher in determining patterns of structure and meaning among the individual, group, and/or community under study. This article reflects on informants' construction of my subsumption within a field of social relations in which the `hustle' was a dominant organizing principle.
