The first part of the article explores ten of the myths about PRA - for example, that it is quick, easy, that people involved are neutral, that it is not political - and attempts to debunk them. The second part discusses the relationship between anthropology and PRA and what they have to offer each other. It is concluded that PRA needs anthropology to continue the process of reflection, self-critique and theoretical and methodological enrichment. Conversely, anthropology needs an applied context to work effectively and make the most of the discipline's insights.
