Synopsis
Argues that the research process in all its stages is constructed through the intersections of three set of interests: those of the researcher; those of disadvantaged groups being studied; and those of socially dominant political structures, organizations, social groups, and individuals. Eleven essays explore this and other themes in discussions on such topics as discovering the everyday lives of women in the past, competing cultural ideas about social services for children across the world, and the ways that defining a young person as "emotionally disturbed" often can work to become a disadvantage. Throughout issues of methodology are examined as are the uses to which research is put. Distributed by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
