Book Description
This volume focuses on how to define indigenous knowledge as well as which disciplines should take on the responsibility of its investigation. It also speaks practically about what methodologies should best be used in researching this new field, considering the demands of development while not compromising anthropological expectations.
Participating in Development: Approaches to Indigenous Knowledge FROM THE PUBLISHER
This volume focuses on two major issues that anthropology might profitably address. The first issue it develops is how to define indigenous knowledge and who should define it, as it currently lacks disciplinary coherence. Secondly it addresses the idea that once this definition is achieved what methodologies should be used in such an interdisciplinary research endeavor when it must meet the demands of development (cost- and time-effective, intelligible to non-experts) while not compromising anthropological expectations.
