Strategies of Qualitative Inquiry
Strategies of Qualitative Inquiry, Fourth Edition isolates the major strategies- historically, the research methods- that researchers can use in conducting concrete qualitative studies. The question of methods begins with questions of design and the matters of money and funding. These questions always begin with the researcher who moves from a research question to a paradigm or perspective, and then to the empirical world. The history and uses of these strategies are explored extensively in this volume. The chapters move from forms (and problems with) mixed methods inquiry to case study, performance and narrative ethnography, to constructionist analytics to grounded theory strategies, testimonies, participatory action research, and clinical research.
This book is the second of three paperback volumes taken from the Sage Handbook of Qualitative Research (fourth edition). It presents individually and historically the major strategies and research methods that researchers can use in conducting concrete qualitative studies.
The book is really helpful. I've benefited from it effecetivley. It covers many issues in Qualitative Research Methods. Language of the book is not that much complicated, is very comprehensible.
It seems that the new edition of the classic "Handbook of Qualitative Methods" is split into three books. The material is up-to-date and as valuable as ever for the qualitative researcher. Together, these books are the final word on quals. They give you methods, philosophical context, and an overview of the newer social theories emerging as referential paradigms in the area of research design.
