Re-imagining Contested Communities by Maria O'beirne

Re-imagining Contested Communities by Maria O'beirne

Using history, artistic practice, writing, poetry, autobiography and collaborative ethnography, this book literally and figuratively re-imagines a place. It is a manifesto for alternative visions of community, located in histories and cultural reference points that often remain unheard within the mainstream media. As such, the book presents a 'how to' for researchers interested in community collaborative research and accessing alternative ways of knowing and voices in marginalised communities.

"These community stories and voices highlight the power of storytelling and narrative as a research methodology and methodThis book will be of great interest, I believe, to academics, community practitioners and organizers, social justice advocates, policy makers, students at all levels, artists, humanists, and others." Theodore Alter, Co-Director of the Centre for Economic and Community Development, The Pennsylvania State University
