Description

Participatory research (PR) emerged in the 1970s in Africa as an alternative approach to promoting the empowerment and participation of the marginalized populations in development and bringing about progressive social transformation.

This book brings together a collection of key essays on the theoretical issues, reflections and practice of PR in Africa from the early 1980s to the early 1990s.

Its contributors, some key scholars and practitioners involved in the African region, consider the historical development of PR in Africa, its impact on social change and transformation, the connections between PR, popular theatre and popular education, and critical feminist analyses of PR.
