Inhabited Silence in Qualitative Research

«Lisa A. Mazzei's book is a distinguished contribution to the growing body of 'troubling' research that interrogates deeply held, and often deeply hidden, assumptions about education, identity and the claims of theory. Taking silence as its slippery topic, the book opens up new questions about voice and authenticity, and forces readers to rethink assumptions about the disclosure of self and truth in qualitative research.» (Maggie MacLure, Professor of Education, Education and Social Research Institute, Manchester Metropolitan University)
