Questioning Qualitative Inquiry by Martyn Hammersley
Provocative essays on current developments and debates that are essential reading for anyone interested in the future of qualitative research.
′Written in Hammersley′s usual considered style and is pitched perfectly for post-graduate students, and teachers of advanced methods courses but alos for early career researchers still unclear of which direction they face within the contemporary landscape and proliferarting ′schools′ of qualitative research′ -

′Questioning Qualitative Inquiry is essential reading for both post-graduate student confronted by overwhelming methodological pluralism and the established scholar sitting comfortably in their ontological comfort-zone′

′The critiques in Hammersley’s collection of essays have an even-handed rigour. Analyses of different approaches to developing knowledge about the social move between the nitty-gritty of method and exegetical discussion of philosophies behind different approaches′
