ABSTRACT
I offer this review of the book Collaborative Autoethnography to diverse readers. The book Collaborative Autoethnography presents a framework for collaborative autoethnographers at all levels, from novice to advanced multidisciplinary scholars. This book provides in-depth insights into the entire process, from an introduction to collaborative autoethnography (CAE), preparation, and post-collaborative autoethnography writing. It highlights the significance of prior awareness of CAE for identifying the type of CAE, defining the roles and boundaries of the researchers, and involvement in pre-CAE, during-CAE, and post-CAE writing. I emphasize that understanding an individual's position within collaborative work is dominant before or during the process. This review features the CAE writing and the collaborative model—whether partial or full collaboration—and strongly underlines the importance of understanding the researchers' roles in CAE. Furthermore, this review aims to provide a clear and academic perspective on the book and its contributions to collaborative autoethnography. I found this book immensely valuable, especially for CAE practitioners, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in subscribing to CAE as the research methodology.
