dc.descriptionThis discussion summary provides insights into the philosophical and practical considerations of participatory research in the context of socialist development. The dialogue delves into the need for tangible examples in socialist development, the limitations of OBET, and the importance of aligning research efforts with the interests of peasants and workers. Highlighting the role of historical materialism and the strategic decisions researchers face, the document underscores participatory research as a means to challenge the status quo and support liberation movements. It captures the collective analysis of development theories as a foundational step in creating equitable and transformative frameworks for social change.
dc.description.abstractThis document summarizes the discussion of Lead Paper I, presented in Small Group I at the African Regional Workshop on Participatory Research. Chaired by Ngugi wa Mirii, with rapporteur Mama Roffeety, the group examined themes of development theory, the role of socialist and participatory approaches, and the influence of bourgeois theory on oppression. Key points included critiques of OBET (Official Bourgeois Economic Theory) for failing to empower the oppressed and discussions on linking theory to practical examples. The dialogue explored historical materialism, the role of the social scientist, and strategies for using participatory research to promote worker and peasant empowerment. The group emphasized research as an ideological tool for social transformation.
