Items related to Qualitative Inquiry Under Fire: Toward a New Paradigm...
Synopsis
This collection of recent works by Norman K. Denzin provides a history of the field of qualitative inquiry over the past two decades. As perhaps the leading proponent of this style of research, Denzin has led the way toward more performative writing, toward conceptualizing research in terms of social justice, toward inclusion of indigenous voices, and toward new models of interpretation and representation. In these 13 essays―which originally appeared in a wide variety of sources and are edited and updated here―the author traces how these changes have transformed qualitative practice in recent years. In an era when qualitative inquiry is under fire from conservative governmental and academic bodies, he points the way toward the future, including a renewed dialogue on paradigmatic pluralism.

Review
"For interpretive colleagues who find their work being judged and graded by positivists, who witness qualitative methodology being squeezed out of University courses, and who are treated to use Denzin s words as an elephant in the SBR movement s living room, this book certainly has the potential to evoke what Denzin aspires for: a narrative of passion and commitment ... The Viva La Revolution tone to this book makes it a motivating read. It is also an informative read. It would be a welcomed resource for postgraduates and academics with an interest in qualitative inquiry. This book should be in the libraries of all institutions where qualitative research is done. As well as an overview of where the field has been, Denzin successfully summarizes where it is now, and the direction he feels that it should move in the future as one large community."
