This book deals with indigenous people and the problems that plague agricultural production in the high mountains of Ecuador. The author argues that when indigenous knowledge systems and participatory rural appraisal approaches are placed in the context of communicative action theory, they will gain theoretical, political and practical significance, and cross-cultural co-operation for development should be improved. Aimed at a varied readership, including those with an interest in agricultural knowledge systems, participatory philosophy, or the rural economy and ethnography of the Andes. Published in the Indigenous Knowledge and Development series.
