Separate by Degree: Women Students' Experiences in Single-Sex and Coeducational Colleges (review)
authors navigate this difficult terrain with candor and authentic questioning. The writing style of each chapter is inviting and engaging so that the author brings along the reader in a search for deeper understanding. This text makes an important contribution to the literature on qualitative research as well as identity development. It would serve as an effective text for qualitative research classes as each chapter explores important aspects of the research process as well as raises significant questions for those engaging in qualitative research. The book could also be used as a text for developing knowledge and understanding of cultural and racial groups, for each chapter represents a study with a particular group. In grappling with the question of the central purpose of research, this book is also an important source for anyone conducting research who cares about scholarly inquiry as a strategy for social change and justice. Each author in Multiple and Intersecting Identities in Qualitative Research provides testimony to the transformative potential of research when personal subjectivities, cultural histories, and structural change are considered.
