Qualitative Research: A Defense of Traditions; and A Response to Atkinson, Delamont, and Hammersley.
Jacob, Evelyn; Lincoln, Yvonna S.
Review of Educational Research, v59 n2 p229-39 Sum 1989
Two papers respond to an article by P. Atkinson, S. Delamont, and M. Hammersley (1988) critiquing papers by E. Jacob (1987, 1988) on qualitative research traditions. The use of T. Kuhn's concept of "paradigm" and the criticism that the British were not included in the Jacob's study are addressed. (TJH)
