"The true strength of the book lies in its focus on the quality of research partnerships and the power of these relationships to address social justice issues as they relate to conservation and rural livelihoods." (Ecoscience, June 2010)"Overall, the book is an engaging collection of convincing cases for participatory methods in resource commons research. The book will be especially useful for graduate students as the cases clearly address pros and cons of participatory approaches, and were written by student practitioners." (The International Journal of the Commons, October 2009)
"Participatory Research in Conservation and Rural
Livelihoods is brilliant, passionate, and inspiring. Fortmann
and her contributors carefully qualify and complicate the
distinctions between knowing and doing, between civil science and
conventional science, and between communities and researchers. In
so doing, they impart new richness and complexity to discussions of
participatory research and forge a model of deep collaboration that
tirelessly confronts difficult questions of power, inclusion,
reciprocity, voice, and expertise while successfully blurring the
border between natural and social sciences."
