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.

"The poems in Simon's captivating fourth volume describe the labyrinth of India, an overwhelming, difficult place for a foreigner to explore, but a country that seems to offer a transcendent good at its core for those who can learn to find it. From a ragged boy spontaneously bursting into song on a street corner to a beggar-woman whose offering of all she has left - a frail dirge - "defies her terrible hunger," Simon's images remind us again and again of what she learned in India that "each small world transforms itself.""--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
