Crafting Qualitative Research: Working in the Postpositivist Traditions
"For too long all non-quantitative research has been treated as a single category: qualitative. However, the diversity of assumptions and method that exist within this category is huge. Crafting Qualitative Research is the book we have been waiting for - an approachable, articulate mapping of these very different traditions of research. Both students and experienced researchers will benefit from reading this text." - Ralph Stablein, Massey University "This fine book brings new insight to the diversity that exists within the traditions of qualitative research. Professor Prasad is deeply conversant with the philosophical perspectives that undergird the disparate research traditions, as well as with the differences in technique that are observed in practice. The result is a book that is of immense value to the teaching and learning of qualitative methods." - Eileen Fischer, York University"
