Bridging Knowledge Cultures: Rebalancing power and the co-construction of knowledge
Edited by Walter Lepore, Budd L Hall and Rajesh Tandon, Brill, Free download
WHOSE knowledge counts? And how can knowledge be democratised? History “from below” – including oral history – could bring the past to life, enriching, rather than superseding, other forms of knowledge and empowering communities in diverse ways.
Bridging Knowledge Cultures explores these issues, drawing on the experiences of a number of Unesco-supported initiatives, developing partnerships between academic institutions and communities, and developing participatory research in the pursuit of sustainable development and social justice agendas.
