Reviews

"With a sterling cast of contributors and insightful studies of indigenous knowledge and learning, Kapoor and Shizha have assembled a volume of careful and outstanding studies. Their collection will be of use to all scholars and decision makers interested in how indigenous knowledge works." - Arun Agrawal, Professor and Associate Dean for Research in the School of Natural Resources and Environment (SNRE), University of Michigan

"A profoundly illuminating and scholarly discourse on indigenous knowledge systems in an Afro-Asian and interdisciplinary context. Kapoor and Shizha have initiated a new era of cross-regional research in a text that should be of interest to development planners, historians, social scientists, and educators." - Gloria Emeagwali, Professor of History and African Studies, Central Connecticut State University
