Reviews

"Like previous editions, this offers the most comprehensive analysis in a single volume of the theories, techniques, and foundational thought underpinning qualitative inquiry.... Highly recommended."
*CHOICE*

Since its first edition, the SAGE Handbook of Qualitative Research has been a vital and indispensable resource for qualitative researchers and practitioners in a variety of academic disciplines.
*Gust A. Yep*

An absolute must for seasoned as well as novice qualitative researchers. It is THE reference book to have on hand; no methodologist, both qualitative or quantitative should be without in his/her library.
*Marc Spooner*

Enlightens students to methods and ideas that are exciting and new--a real paradigm shift for many!!
*Ann Marie Powers*

This is the three-sided agenda of the fourth edition, to show how the discourses of the qualitative research inside and outside the classroom, can be used to help create and imagine a free democratic society.
*Masoud Ghaffari*

The SAGE Handbook of Qualitative Research provides an invaluable invitation for readers to explore the philosophical and theoretical impulses, confluences, and tensions in qualitative inquiry. It is an outstanding resource to researchers.
*Rachelle Hole*

The handbook is incredibly valuable for those seeking a deeper understanding of research methods.
*Charles Walts*

A great resource for graduate students trying to sort out the multiple possibilities for conducting qualitative research studies.
*Randee Lipson Lawrence*

Denzin & Lincoln confidently connect students to the depth and breadth of qualitative research methods.

From novice to expert, all researchers will find the SAGE Handbook of Qualitative Research essential to their qualitative work.
*Cassie Quigley*

The SAGE Handbook of Qualitative Research is my go-to book on methodologies, critical approaches to qualitative inquiry, in-depth treatment of core topics, and creative challenges and developments in various fields. It is a most useful transdisciplinary volume, and I recommend it to colleagues and students frequently.
