dc.description.abstractThis work by Orlando Fals Borda explores the growing significance of Participatory-Action Research (PAR) in addressing unresolved economic, political, and social challenges at the grassroots level. It underscores the potential of PAR to promote radical, nonviolent change through capacity-building and collective action. The paper provides insights into the methodological and theoretical underpinnings of PAR, exemplified by case studies from Colombia and comparative studies in Nicaragua and Mexico. It further discusses the integration of academic and popular knowledge to empower marginalized communities, aiming for sustainable socio-political transformation.
