Synopsis

An educational research text, this work explores postmodernism ad deconstructionism connecting these to issues in philosophy, research methodology, and policy critique. The authors draw on literary theory, anthropology and sociology in order to construct alternative ways of reading and writing educational research, claiming that it is with a reformed inheritance that such research can address the condition of postmodernity as well as the positive and negative aspects of postmodernism.

Media Reviews
Much that is written about post-modernism and social research is irritatingly futile and trivial in the extreme. Here at last is a book about postmodernism and research in education that is writtenwith a sharp wit and has real bite. Maggie Maclure and Ian Stronach have written a book that makes a difference. As I read it I found myselfrethinking the advice I have given to students, to colleagues and to myself about current projects, and as I started to read it again I found more. This book is original, and the authors clearly delight in the seeming contradiction this invites. - Rob Walker This is a book to be embraced and with which to engage. It iscertainly one of the most interesting and engaging on postmodernism and educational research to have been published to date...Stronach's and MacLure's book is an extremely valuable contribution to the ongoing debates surrounding postmodernism and educational research. - British Journal of Educational Studies As intelligent a hearing as postmodernism is likely to receive. - Professor Ernie House, School of Education, University of Colorado at Boulder.
