In this provocative work, Virginia Milhouse demonstrates how
autoethnography combines creative and analytical practices to help
bring to consciousness some complex social and political agendas
hidden in narratorial writings. It demonstrates how an arts-based
qualitative research method (narrative inquiry) can be fused with a
scientific-based quantitative method (DMIS-IDI) and compliment,
support and or correct each other. It also demonstrates how
"writing as a method of inquiry" can be a viable way for
researchers to learn about themselves and their research, as well
as features standards for evaluating creatively and analytically
constructed text. Further, the author''s examination of the
aesthetics of "inner-readiness" and "in-betweeness" will be very
helpful to people doing this kind of self-reflexive fieldwork. The
reader will also appreciate this author''s recognition of the
importance of combining qualitative and quantitative
methodologies--something not many writers can do with great
success. Also, this book will be a real contribution to sojourners
and others traveling or living abroad. The work is very smart; and,
is, beautifully and clearly written. The ''labyrinth'' quote at the
beginning of her work is very fitting and certainly promises to
illustrate those words.
