Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Carolyn Ellis is the leading writer in the move toward personal, autobiographical writing as a strategy for academic research. In addition to her landmark books Final Negotiations and The Ethnographic I, she has authored numerous stories that demonstrate the emotional power and academic value of autoethnography. This volume collects a dozen of Ellis’s stories—about the loss of her husband, brother and mother; of growing up in small town Virginia; about the work of the ethnographer; about emotionally charged life issues such as abortion, caregiving, and love. Atop these captivating stories, she adds the component of meta-autoethography—a layering of new interpretations, reflections, and vignettes to her older work. An important new work for qualitative researchers and a student-friendly text for courses.

From the Inside Flap
This volume collects a dozen of Ellis’s autoethnographic stories with a layering of new interpretations, reflections, and vignettes to her older work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Revision:Autoethnographic reflections on life and work, December 22, 2008
By S. M. Bardy (Adelaide South australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have enjoyed Carolyn Ellis' work for some years. This book is her very best. She goes much deeper into her personal feelings,but at he same time she is scholarly in a way that is easy to understand and use as a guideline. "Revision " is a book I can read almost like a novel and at the same time it teaches me so much about writing and understanding theoretical concepts. I am in the second half of my PhD studies using autoethnography as the methodology .Carolyn's writings have helped me to understand the complex world of story writing as a scholarly and academic activity.
Thank you Carolyn
