Advancing the rising field of engaged or participatory anthropology
that is emerging at the same time as increased opposition from
Indigenous peoples to research, this book offers critical
reflections on research approaches to-date. The engaged approach
seeks to change the researcher-researched relationship
fundamentally, to make methods more appropriate and beneficial to
communities by involving them as participants in the entire process
from choice of research topic onwards. The aim is not only to
change power relationships, but also engage with non-academic
audiences. The advancement of such an egalitarian and inclusive
approach to research can provoke strong opposition. Some argue that
it threatens academic rigour and worry about the undermining of
disciplinary authority. Others point to the difficulties of
establishing an appropriately non-ethnocentric moral stance and
navigating the complex problems communities face. Drawing on the
experiences of Indigenous scholars, anthropologists and development
professionals acquainted with a range of cultures, this book
furthers our understanding of pressing issues such as
interpretation, transmission and ownership of Indigenous knowledge,
and appropriate ways to represent and communicate it. All the
contributors recognise the plurality of knowledge and incorporate
perspectives that derive, at least in part, from other ways of
being in the world.
