<p>This book is a game changer for researchers drawing on postqualitative educational research in postdigital times. The authors have produced an exceptional storying of methodology and theory that opens thinking and practice. The same text also offers practical definitions and ways of working founded in the writings of known and new thinkers. Perhaps the book's greatest achievement is the decentering of western ways of knowing from the study of global children. A highlight is to read about children from the global south as children, not as deficit children or deficit Adults.</p><p><i><b>Professor Annette Woods</b>, School of Early Childhood and Inclusive Education.

Concepts and methods relating to the <i>Posts- </i>are clearly explained and put to work, unsettling taken for granted assumptions about developmentalism, play and quantitative research methods. This opens the way for re-imaginings of research subjects, transcription, research sites and data analysis, in other words, for doing research differently. This accessible account is a must for scholars interested in undertaking postqualitative research.</p><p><i><b>Hilary Janks,</b> Professor Emerita University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa</i></p>
