Volume five of this expanding series of books draws together a
collection of papers based on a particular form of critical
ethnography developed by Phil Francis Carspecken and his colleagues
at the University of Houston. Each chapter is based on a unique
field project conducted in the Houston area which was planned and
conducted by its particular author, but each chapter shares and
exemplifies a common methodological theory. The Houston version of
critical ethnography attempts to deal with some challenges from
certain feminist and postmodern writers about the validity of
qualitative research, and the authors argue that clear methods and
standards exist for conducting qualitative studies such that well
supported findings may be distinguished from highly questionable
ones. Following an initial chapter by Carspecken which outlines the
theory and methodology adopted, are seven case studies which cover
such topics as multicultural literature, the supervision of
teachers in training, school restructuring, charter schools, and
race and standardized testing.
