Synopsis

In this, the first of a three-volume paperback version of the landmark Handbook of Qualitative Research, editors Norman K Denzin and Yvonna S Lincoln survey the field of qualitative research from a wide-ranging theoretical perspective. Part One locates the field, providing historical context as well as background on applied qualitative research, the `self' and the `other', and the politics and ethics of qualitative inquiry. Part Two examines the major paradigms that inform and influence qualitative research in the human disciplines. Part Three considers the future of qualitative research.

The Handbook of Qualitative Research is the state of the art in evaluating the field of qualitative inquiry, and features contributions from many of the leading scholars in the area. Now published in paperback in response to the needs of classroom teachers, The Landscape of Qualitative Research is an ideal volume around which to build a course on research methods, across a wide number of academic disciplines.
