      abstract = {Autoethnography is an innovative approach to inquiry  located in the interstices between science and literature.  Blending researcher and subject roles, autoethnographers  use anlytical strategies to explore the social and cultural  contexts of meaningful life experiences and their  implications for the present. Social issues are described  from the inside out, producing narratives that reflect the  messy, experiential encounters of everyday life. This  collection illustrates the value of authoenthnography as an  inquiry approach for social work practice. Covering such  topics as international adoption, cross-dressing, divorce,  cultural competence, life-threatening illness, and  transformative change, contributors showcase the  ambiguities, doubts, contradictions, insights, tensions,  and epiphanies that accompany their experiences. This  anthology provides a readable and unique example of an  exciting new trend in qualitative research. -- from back  cover.},
