Beskrivning
There is a revolution happening in the practice of anthropology. A new field of 'indigenous knowledge' is emerging, which aims to make local voices hear and ensure that development initiatives meet the needs of indigenous people.Development and Local Knowledge focuses on two major challenges that arise in the discussion of indigenous knowledge - its proper definition and the methodologies appropriate to the exploitation of local knowledge. These concerns are addressed in a range of ethnographic contexts.

Recensioner i media

'One cannot help but be impressed with the richness of field findings used to substantiate the various arguments ... It deserves a wide and serious reading.' - The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute'...This collection of essays merits some attention. Unlike many such books written by practitioners, this one gathers a number of anthropologists and asks questions of anthropologists themselves as to their work in development... [Sillitoe and Bicker argue] for a focus on methodology which I find, is the most innovative idea of the book.' - Marlene Buchy, Development and Change
