“This is a valuable contribution and will be of interest to all concerned with the practice and theory of Participatory Action Research. Its firm empirical grounding, combined with the rich diversity of the contributions makes it a treasure trove for practitioners and others, both in South Asia and internationally.” (Robert Chambers, Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex, UK)
“Thought-provoking and accessible, this book challenges the taken-for-granted approaches to restructuring education by positioning practice as vitally informing policy, and by effectively demonstrating how perspectives from research and practice can be combined.” (Amita Gupta, School of Education, The City College of New York, USA)
“This book is a welcome addition to the hitherto slender collection of research material in contrast to conventional research methods. Combining research with field-based observation, the book is an important key reference for studies related to an interface between education and participatory development in South Asia.” (Mondira Dutta, School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, India)
