"This book is a welcome addition to the growing number of books
that are exploring theoretical and methodological issues in
research with deaf people. Each chapter is well written and
provides many references to other research (including that of the
authors), so that readers can follow up any particular items of
interest. There is a useful summary at the end of each chapter
entitled 'concluding thoughts', which helps to pose questions for
the reader, which is accompanied by a list of the references cited
in that chapter. I would thoroughly recommend this book. I believe
that it will be useful to social researchers with a broad range of
research interests. This book will be of interest not only to
people newly
considering social research and/or research with deaf people but
also to experienced
researchers who are open to critiquing their own research
practices." --Jemina Napier, International Journal of Social
Research Methodology
