    • Summary:"Responding to increased emphasis in the classroom and the field on exposing students to diverse epistemologies, methods, and methodologies, Bagele Chilisa has written the first textbook that situates research in a larger, historical, cultural, and global context. With case studies from around the world, the book demonstrates the specific methodologies that are commensurate with the transformative paradigm of research and the historical and cultural traditions of third-world and indigenous peoples. Key features include : presents an overview and synthesis of indigenous research methodologies and illustrates their application through case studies from the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, Asia, and the United Kingdom ; reviews the predominant research paradigms and indigenous paradigms and methodologies, showing how the decolonization of research can move from theory into practice ; demonstrates the application of postcolonial, indigenous, and critical race theory to planning and conducting research, providing students with rich examples ; offers practical guidance on relationships between the researchers and the researched, with suggestions for how indigenous methodologies can be integrated in the global knowledge economy ; provides a variety of learning aids in each chapter, including quotations from eminent scholars, learning objectives, "Before You Start" questions, and end-of-chapter activities and suggested readings that stimulate critical thinking."-- taken from back cover.
