The first concerted critical examination of the uses and abuses of
indigenous knowledge.
The contributors focus on a series of interrelated issues in their
interrogation of indigenous knowledge and its specific applications
within the localised contexts of particular Asian societies and
regional cultures. In particular they explore:
The problems of translation and mistranslation in the local-global
transference of traditional practices and representations of
resource management. The match and mismatch of practical reasoning
in indigenous subsistence regimes and their depictions by
outsiders. The developmental and political consequences of
contemporary ethnic and regional claims rooted in an ideology of
"Traditional " indigenous knowledge.
