This volume describes a grass-roots approach to empowering
people for democratic social change. It explains participatory
research using exemplary case studies on community organizing,
feminist theory, and ecological movements from a wide range of
locations in North America. The first collection of essays on
participatory research in Canada and the United States, the book is
an eloquent demonstration that the same approach to social change
is needed in industrialized countries as it is in underdeveloped
countries. Challenging the relevance and validity of academic
social science research, participatory research is an important
tool for social activists, community workers, and adult educators
working with oppressed peoples.
