Description
Book SynopsisThis volume offers an innovative ethnography, which strives to express the lived experience of women's music by turning the postmodern critique into a lyrical and complex expression of social experience.
Trade ReviewA delightful read, one that I would recommend to group and community workers for a creative and derivative approach to themes of group culture, diversity, organizational culture, and feminist thought. -- Linda Yael Schiller, LICSW, (Boston University School of Social Work) * Social Work With Groups, Journal Of Comm and Clinical Practice *
Holman Jones' atmospheric accounts of her own interactions and reactions to the Club do indeed make one feel as though one was almost there....The ease with with Holman Jones deals with the complex processes of ethnography would make the book an invaluable teaching resource. She easily de-mystifies an aspect of anthropology that is seldom examined, still less taught, where the apprenticeship approach is still the dominant approach. -- Sarah Delaney, National Women's Council of Ireland * Forum: Qualitative Social Research *
