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 storiesabout 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-autoethographya 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.
Editorial : "Revision is primarily a why-to-do autoethnography book rather than a how-to-do autoethnography manual. It is a testament to the importance and value of autoethnography as a qualitative research method. Ellis examines and re-examines her 'I' in ways that 'aren't easily addressed by orthodox social science.' This book is appropriate for beginner and veteran autoethnography researchers alike, as it showcases some of the finest autoethnographic works in print."

They are all awesome and the photos are, too, with some new never seen before photos revealed. It's the reflections of the men that really walked and lived on the moon, the only men that can tell the story, organized and illustrated. The comments at times elicit a smile or a laugh or raised eyebrow. This book makes me appreciate the men who made the journey, some of whom are reticent yet they contribute. This is not a quick cut and paste job. This book is her very best. I am in the second half of my PhD studies using autoethnography as the
