- Book Synopsis
- Using in-depth qualitative interviews, authors Herbert J. Rubin and Irene S. Rubin have researched topics ranging from community redevelopment programs to the politics of budgeting and been energized by the depth, thoroughness, and credibility of what was revealed. They describe in-depth qualitative interviewing from beginning to end, from its underlying philosophy and assumptions to project design, analysis and write up. "This book is exactly what I was looking for in that it covers interviewing and analysis in depth."-Daphne John, Oberlin College"Students leave this book fully informed of the nuances and complexity of interviewing as well as excited about the promise interview research findings offer."-Hannah Britton, University of Kansas"The authors′ focus on the reflective process, question development, and procedural steps associated with qualitative research is rich and thorough."-Tracy M. Lara, Kent State University
