Qualitative Literacy: A Guide to Evaluating Ethnographic and Interview Research by Mario Luis Small and Jessica McCrory Calarco is a comprehensive guide that offers a framework for evaluating the quality of qualitative research. The book is particularly relevant for researchers seeking to assess or enhance the rigor of their qualitative studies. Small and Calarco (2022) introduce five key indicators; cognitive empathy, heterogeneity, palpability, follow-up, and self-awareness that assist readers and researchers in determining whether a qualitative study is well-executed. This review discusses the organization and content of the book, the rationale for selecting it, its strengths and weaknesses, and provides implications and recommendations for practitioners and academics.
