Preface / Geoffrey Walford -- Critical ethnographies from Houston: distinctive features and directions / Phil Francis Carspecken -- Betweenthe lines: constructing parallel levels of meaning andidentity in discussions about multicultural literature / Joan Parker-Webster -- The class clown andnegotiated epistemology in a classroom / Judy Radigan -- Instructional supervision: collaborative power, super power or visionary power? / Ruth Silva -- A critical ethnography of the professional community in a restructured school: recognizing diverse views / Lawrence Kohn -- Reforming educational practice against the boundaries of (re)iteration: a critical ethnography of the hidden curriculum ofa constructivist charter school / Barbara Korth -- Testing white culture: African American studentsand standardized testing / Judith Hansen -- Negotiating meaning and power: Middle school students interpret literature and selves through discussion and recall / Leigh Van Horn.

Volume five of this expanding series of books draws together a collection of papers based on a particular form of critical ethnography developed by Phil Francis Carspecken and his colleagues atthe University of Houston. Each chapter is based on a unique field project conducted inthe Houston area which was planned and conducted by its particular author, but each chapter shares and exemplifies a common methodological theory. The Houston version of critical ethnography attempts to deal withsome challenges from certain feminist and postmodern writers about thevalidity of qualitative research, and the authors argue that clear methods and standards exist for conducting qualitative studies such that well supported findings may be distinguished from highly questionable ones. Following an initial chapter by Carspecken which outlines the theory and methodology adopted, are seven case studies which cover such topics as multicultural literature, the supervision of teachers in training, school restructuring, charter schools, and race and standardized testing.
