Book Description
"The literature on narrative inquiry has been, until now, widely scattered and theoretically incomplete. Clandinin and Connelly have created a major tour de force. This book is lucid, fluid, beautifully argued, and rich in examples. Students will find a wealth of arguments to support their research, and teaching faculty will find everything they need to teach narrative inquiry theory and methods."--Yvonna S. Lincoln, professor, Department of Educational Administration, Texas A&M University
Understanding experience as lived and told stories--also known as narrative inquiry--has gained popularity and credence in qualitative research. Unlike more traditional methods, narrative inquiry successfully captures personal and human dimensions that cannot be quantified into dry facts and numerical data.
In this definitive guide, Jean Clandinin and Michael Connelly draw from more than twenty years of field experience to show how narrative inquiry can be used in educational and social science research. Tracing the origins of narrative inquiry in the social sciences, they offer new and practical ideas for conducting fieldwork, composing field notes, and conveying research results. Throughout the book, stories and examples reveal a wide range of narrative methods. Engaging and easy to read, Narrative Inquiry is a practical resource from experts who have long pioneered the use of narrative in qualitative research.

Illuminations on Reflections,
By
This review is from: Narrative Inquiry: Experience and Story in Qualitative Research (Hardcover)
I wish this text was out when I was writing my dissertation. The authors provide meaningful ways to study, interpret, and present narrative research. The writing is completely clear and always reflective. This is a book about how to study experience based on the authors' own experiences in the field. A wonderful and necessary text for any qualitative researcher interested in using personal documents.

Disappointing,
By
This review is from: Narrative Inquiry: Experience and Story in Qualitative Research (Hardcover)
Based on the reviews of Lincoln and others, I had high expectations for this text. Specifically, I'd hoped that the text would prove useful in terms of my research into the construction of self through personal narrative. I was sorely disappointed. The text is virtually atheoretical, does not provide much in the way of explorations of past and present paradigms for narrative inquiry (though paradigms in education are discussed ad nauseum), says little about the interpretation of texts, and neglects current thought on narrative from the disciplines of cultural studies, anthropology, semiotics, and sociology. A perfunctory glance at the references section reveals egregious omissions. For those interested in exploring the intersections of (auto) biography, self, culture, and narrative forms, I would suggest Riessman's 1993 text Narrative Analysis, Dezin's Interpretive Biography, or Reed-Danahay's collection Auto/Ethnography. These are more accessible, lucid, and instructive.

Excellent -- The Answer to Many of my Research Dilemmas,
This review is from: Narrative Inquiry: Experience and Story in Qualitative Research (Hardcover)
I was in the midst of struggling through my thesis process when I picked up this book on Narrative Inquiry. It was such a relief to find that some one had so clearly articulated dimensions of the process that I hadn't had the good fortune to find elsewhere. The writing is very clear, accessible and incisive. The concepts put forward: the 3-dimensional inquiry space, the role of temporality and memory -- these are all extremely helpful and I found directly applicable to my own research. This book really provided me with a road map out of thesis despair -- I recommend it!
