In this volume, contributors examine how research can produce knowledge for social transformation by using political activist ethnography, a unique social research strategy that uses political confrontation as a resource and focuses on moments and spaces of direct struggle to reveal how ruling regimes are organized so activists and social movements can fight them. Featuring research from Aotearoa (New Zealand), Bangladesh, Canada, Poland, South Africa, and the United States on matters as diverse as anti-poverty organizing, prisoners' re-entry, anti-fracking campaigns, left-inspired think-tank development, non-governmental partnerships, involuntary psychiatric admission, and perils of immigration medical examination, contributors to this volume adopt a \"bottom-up\" approach to inquiry to produce knowledge for activists, not about them. A must-read for humanities and social sciences scholars keen on assisting activists and advancing social change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Agnieszka Doll\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771993987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771993982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Athabasca University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Agnieszka Doll","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46545813176575,"sku":"9781771993982","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6cd719fc-c04c-4453-90cd-4da246fdfe1e.jpg?v=1738183400","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/political-activist-ethnography-agnieszka-doll-9781771993982","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
