Researching 'Race' and Ethnicity Methods, Knoledge and Poer [Paperback]

'Gunaratnam's framework is rich in its examination and synthesis of approaches to the study of race & the reward for the reader who does pick up the book is that the author deftly articulates the complicated view of research on race first from the quantitative perspective and then skilfully moves the reader to issues of race in qualitative research' - Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism

'This is a welcome book for those engaged in policy and empirical work with an active research agenda& there is a level of theoretical sophistication in the text which is often missing from texts concerned with methods in this area' - Race Relations Abstracts

`The particular value of this book to readers lies in the discussion of race , ethnicity and research issues within a political and social context. The author states her intention to explore some of the theoretical and practical dilemmas of researching race and ethnicity. This is, without question, achieved. I recommend it as essential reading for those concerned with increasing their awareness of issues relating to race, ethnicity and research practice' - Nurse Researcher

'This is a thought-provoking and challenging book which demonstrated the fractured and fluid nature of difference and power in the research process. Importantly it offers a guide to the ways in which research can be effectively and productively used in challenging the status quo' - Diversity in Health and Social Care
