Betty Merchant (Edited by) , Arlette Ingram Willis (Edited by)
"[This] fresh, authentic, and important collection of narratives exploring the web of connections between personal identities and scholarly inquiries....makes a significant contribution to an understanding of qualitative research through an artful grappling with complex methodological issues....This is a complex text and a daring work as each author tells her own story while telling those of her participants....The writing style of each chapter is inviting and engaging so that the author brings along the reader in a search for deeper understanding."
—The Journal of Higher Education"The reading was an exciting experience....The explicit autobiographical presence and its connections with larger cultural context in academia is the strength of the book....Another strength of the book is its discussion about the language of research....I recommend the book for methodological purposes to those who want to develop their sensitiveness as a researcher, to learn about the ethical dilemmas when studying people from other cultures and facing the problem of writing to the audience of 'phallocentric discourses.'"
—Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice"I recommend the book for methodological purposes to those who want to develop their sensitiveness as a researcher.... the book is useful for everyone of us who need more insight into the multiple identities of people in academia."
—Teachers and Teaching, Theory and Practice"We invite you to learn the songs of our souls--songs for recalling the past, altering the present, and transforming the future. In this book, we become subjects of our own lives and research within and outside the academy."
—Arlette Ingram Willis, Betty Merchant
