'Liamputtong conveys a wonderful sense of excitement in her advocacy for this type of research. The use of widely diverse national/cultural/ethnic examples reflects the author's extensive experience in this field and is a real strength of the book.' Allan Kellehear, University of Bath 'Performing Qualitative Cross-Cultural Research combines the best of personal commitment and fine scholarship. It handles the controversies of cross-cultural research by providing material for thought and debate, delving in to the nuances of methodological issues, and giving clear examples.
