Participatory Action Research in Post-Colonial Contexts provides a comprehensive exploration of Participatory Action Research (PAR) as a transformative methodology uniquely suited to post-colonial contexts, explicitly addressing the ongoing impact of colonial legacies and systemic inequalities in knowledge production and social change.Integrating critical theory, methodological insights, and vivid case studies, this book highlights how PAR empowers marginalised communities, advances social justice, and promotes sustainable development. Readers will benefit from practical strategies for navigating ethical complexities, addressing power imbalances, and ensuring the enduring impact of participatory research. Key features include an in-depth examination of decolonial frameworks, guidance on measuring and sustaining social change, and innovative methods integrating digital technology to scale participatory initiatives.Ideal for graduate students, researchers, lecturers, and practitioners in sociology, anthropology, education, development studies, and environmental justice, this text also serves as essential reading for policymakers and activists committed to equity-driven research and community empowerment.
