Rezensionen

In Search of Naunny's Grave is a primer for critical introspection as a methodological perspective. In addition, the book is a great read and a catalyst for self-reflection. I dare you to read it without pausing to consider your own family stories. As the series editors Art Bochner and Carolyn Ellis note, one of the uses of this kind of writing is to allow another person's experience to inspire critical reflection of your own. And that mades Elsie Martinez Trujillo Alcaraz quite a remarkable woman after all. Women and Language In addition to being a fine scholarly text, the book is potentially very valuable for a variety of students and courses or course units that focus on gender, family communication, and qualitative research approaches. It serves as an excellent example of autoethnography that incorprates a variety of other research methods and writing styles. -- ?JH Communication Research Trends
