<p>What are the possible scenarios when bringing several voices together to make up a book? The voices might form a melodious and soothing harmony. An undisturbing treat for the mind and soul. Alternatively, the voices may collide in a cacophonic noise battle. A discordant attack on the senses and thoughts. This book and its voices offer the best from both these scenarios. Put together, these new, creative, and bold voices make up a polyphony. Each voice offers something on its own terms, each chapter lingers on as an individual melody that showcases how subjectivity is key to developing knowledge about human experiences. And yet, when played together as a polyphonic orchestra, the individual melodies also offer something much more. As a whole, the book offers harmony and cacaphnoy. Could you ask for more?</p><p><b>- Professor Trude Klevan, University of South-Eastern Norway</b></p>
