- Synopsis
- Experts from a range of discipline offer practical advice for conducting social science research in racial and ethnic minority population. Readers will learn how to choose appropriate methods - longitudinal studies, national surveys, quantitative analysis, personal interviews, and other qualitative approaches - and how best to employ them for research on specific demographic groups. The Volume opens with a brief introduction to the difficulty of defining a population and designing a research program and then moves to illustrative examples draw from the contributorsÆ own studies of Blacks in the United States, the Caribbean and South African. Case studies covers research on the media, mental health, churches work, marital relationships, education, and family roles. Book jacket.
