Grassroots Horizons: Connecting Participatory Development Initiatives East and West
Grassroots activists and researchers build here on their varied personal experiences to clarify and strengthen the effectiveness of participatory group action in overcoming impoverishment, oppression and exclusion. The authors focus on core issues of social and political organisation and change, such as: relations between self and other; group identity and solidarity; honouring different types of knowledge systems; and organising against vested positions and unjust power structure.
