Abstract
This book examines the frustrations and limitations of conventional Western academic research on social change and describes the struggle to fashion a new approach based on the principle that people have a universal right to participate in the production of knowledge that directly affects their lives. The heart of the book is a series of case studies of participatory action-research (PAR) attempted in such diverse places as Canada, India, Africa, and Latin America.
