- Summary:
-
"'Indigenous knowledge' (I.K) is a concept now widely employed in development studies, environmental conservation programmes, and in the political rhetoric of international funding agencies, non-governmental organisations and national governments. It is also being increasingly adopted as an insurgent claim of 'indigenous' minorities and regional movements throughout the developing world. Indigenous Environmental Knowledge and its Transformations is the first concerted critical examination of the uses and abuses of the concept of I.K." "The contributors focus on a series of interrelated issues in their interrogation of indigenous knowledge and its specific applications within the localised contexts of particular Asian societies and regional cultures."--BOOK JACKET.
