The authors have done an impressive job at synthesizing an enormous amount of material and perspectives with a clarity that is refreshing and engaging. It will provide students with a guide to this dynamic sub-field and demonstrate how critical inquiry using this approach will enable them to address important and complex issues in the contemporary world. Including clear chapter objectives, critical questions, tables, and 'icebreakers', the book provides necessary background materials while also demonstrating how research is lived experience by those conducting it.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003eAntoinette WinklerPrins, Johns Hopkins University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003eWilliam G.
