<p>"This book will become a 'must have' item for many sociologists and practitioners. I am most impressed with Prus's keen understanding of the processual nature of human reality. He has brought us face-to-face with the intersubjective, providing a much needed return to empirical questions that are grounded in 'lived experience.' Prus's grasp of the theoretical underpinnings of interactionism, along with his deep knowledge of power processes, highlights the important contributions ethnographic investigations have been making all along and will continue to make." — Lori Holyfield, University of Arkansas</p><p>"Prus shows a great insight into the subject and offers a first-rate, often unique and imaginative, analysis of power. His lists of steps, stages, features, and/or subprocesses associated with a host of social phenomena will, undoubtedly, guide future researchers in their investigations of social life. They strike me as unique constructions that provide clear evidence of his well-developed ethnographer's eye for the complexity of social processes." — Thomas J. Morrione, Colby College</p>
