Reviews

This book is a bold and timely contribution to debates about the role of power, privilege and perspective in the creation of knowledge. Particularly impressive is how contributors weave moving and personal stories of their experiences as scholars together with their empirically rich and theoretically complex accounts of their scholarship. This volume is a generously provocative intervention that provides a compass for future journeys in the field. * Rodney Jones, University of Reading, UK *
