Nurtured by Knowledge
Learning by doing participatory action-research
By Dennis G. Willms, Susan E. Smith, Nancy A. Johnson and Paulo Freire
Blurbs
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.
