Covering basic issues of transcription and research credibility as well as visual data and engagingly written, it is a goldmine for students and researchers alike. If we want to make narrative research serious and revealing, it is to this book that we should turn. --David Silverman, Professor Emeritus, Goldsmiths′ College, University of London Narrative Methods for the Human Sciences provides an accessible framework for researchers -- to analyse narrative texts with confidence, empathy, and humility.--NARRATIVE INQUIRYThis is a terrific book. Cathy Riessman has an encyclopedic knowledge of this field and of the participants in it. This breadth and depth of knowledge is abundantly clear throughout the book. --Susan Bell, Bowdoin CollegeThis book has been a great source of inspiration to me and my students, not only for its methodological clarity, but also for the spirit of social activism it engenders. --Ian Baptiste, The Pennsylvania State UniversityNarrative Methods for the Human Sciences is an essential starting point for both students and experienced researchers interested in using narrative analysis in applied or other contexts. Written with admirable clarity, an engaging style, and supported by detailed examples of analysis, the book outlines the main methodological issues and approaches within the exciting and fast-developing field of narrative research. Even researchers already familiar with narrative methods should find the presentation of thematic, structural, dialogic/performance, and visual forms of analysis a fruitful stimulus to new research endeavours.--Brian Roberts, University of Central Lancashire, U.K. I just had to thank you for paving the path for us new and ′hopeful′ narrative researchers. I have been a student of both your books on narrative analysis, and want to thank you for your guidance from your work, and also your latest book Narrative Methods for the Human Sciences.
