Participating in Development Summary

Participating in Development: Approaches to Indigenous Knowledge by Alan Bicker

'Indigenous Knowledge' is extremely current in Development Studies - the World Bank has an Indigenous Knowledge for Development initiative which puts it firmly on the political agenda

As yet there is no theoretical or methodological framework in this area - our book suggests how one could be put in place

A great addition to a very strong development list at Routledge where we have published many of the big names such as Hobart and Pottier
