An outstanding feature of this book is that it addresses what is often the key difficulty for many novices--identifying the research question....I have not come across a book more effective in communicating a sense of the tentative, often blundering, and ultimately human nature of question shaping in qualitative research. -JLR The strengths of Inside Stories are its explicit exploration of many complex problems and issues that qualitative researchers face on a daily basis, its accessibility to novice researchers, and the interesting diversity of studies discussed. This book is like the qualitative research approach it describes: polyphonic, personal, political, and layered with complexity. -Pamela Bettis Oklahoma State University Represents a wide array of approaches to conceptualizing and engaging in qualitative research and reflects the ongoing debates in the field over such issues as representational accuracy and ethics, power relations, and the relationship between research and social action. As such, the book reflects cutting edge thinking about qualitative research....I am very impressed....This is a wonderful pedagogical resource....unique and very much needed. -William D. Armaline Bowling Green State University A significant contribution to the study of qualitative research....The narration here involves the 'stories people tell' about their experiences with qualitative research....Because the essays are very readable and brief but offer a variety of issues, pedagogically they will provide the jumping off point for deeper discussions of the issues, methodologies, and practical concerns the texts raise. -Kathleen S. Farber Bowling Green State University
