'Methods of Human Rights Research is a long-awaited book for anyone interested in assessing and improving his or her methods of engaging with human rights research questions, including questions concerning transitional justice. The greatest merit of the volume could be summarized as methodological awareness raising. In addition, each chapter provides a number of suggestions and examples of research approaches and their applicability in practice. The book excels as an invitation for researchers - especially researchers working in multidisciplinary and applied research projects, such as numerous transitional justice research undertakings - to reflect critically on their work and the level of transparency in their methodological choices. [It] will undoubtedly be of great assistance to those who want to broaden their perspective on how they have so far approached their research questions and what other alternatives they could, or should, consider. Readers designing or analyzing transitional justice research projects will have the benefit of a concise but comprehensive overview of possible methodological options and pitfalls before commencing their research.' Evelyne Schmid in 2011 International Journal of Transitional Justice 159.
