Features unique chapters, one on rapport and subjectivity and one on ethics in qualitative research. Users the voices and experiences of typical graduate students to engage readers in understanding the nature, methods, and problems encountered in carrying out qualitative studies. Presents the newest thinking in qualitative research ("Postmodern Ethnography"), including discussions of issues of power and control in relation to knowledge; how history and culture shape the researcher's perspective and how the researcher and researched affect each other."--BOOK COVER. |
