Writing Qualitative Inquiry
Self, Stories, and Academic Life
H.L. Goodall, Jr.
"This is a wonderful manuscript, brilliantly crafted, nuanced, and oh so well written."
- Norman K. Denzin
I, like so many others, developed my narrative roots by reading outside of the academy. I read novels and poetry, drama and investigative journalism. I, too, was frustrated by the lack of compelling stories coming out of my discipline (at the time) as well as by the general lack of respect for narratives within my scholarly community. There seemed to be a need for a bridge between what I was reading outside the academy—compelling stories—and what I was reading in my scholarly journals and books.
Writing the New Ethnography
H.L. Goodall, Jr.
Writing Ethnography is the material, textual manifestation of a long and complex process of my becoming a writer, a process I am still actively engaged in. Its ethnographic slant has been fashioned by a way of working, a way of entering the world everyday, which privileges asking questions about Others in cultural contexts constructed and understood by a self whose presence is very much in the text. Dan Rose calls this process "living the ethnographic life" (1990), but mostly I just think of it as becoming who I am.
