Riassunto

This textbook presents an engaging introduction to the theory and methods of qualitative research in the social sciences. The authors employ a "holistic" approach to research by tightly linking research questions with the appropriate set of qualitative methods. They cover all the key mainstream qualitative methods, as well as a number of more unconventional ones such as oral history, visual and unobtrusive methods, and present an overview of mixed-methods approaches. As part of their discussion of the ethical issues underpinning all social research, the authors raise important issues concerning the problems and prospects novice researchers confront in researching human subjects.

Recensione

"Hesse-Biber and Leavy have provided us with an excellent textbook for the beginning level of the study of qualitative research. It is just technical enough that an intelligent under graduate could use it to produce an elementary level research using some of the cookie cutter methodology presented in the how-to sections of the chapters." (Wes Clarkson 2007-04-16)
