Using clear language and concrete examples, this text examines theoretical and historical foundations that shape the premise and logic of qualitative social research. It analyzes qualitative methodology and methods in relation to issues of agency, subjectivity, and experience. Rooted in feminist, critical race, and poststructural literature, it is concerned with social justice as it critiques current research paradigms and advances broad alternatives.
