Hungry for Hope: On the Cultural and Communicative Dimensions of Development in Highland Ecuador (Indigenous Knowledge and Development Series)

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.
The book is 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.
