Theme 5 -Autonomous approaches to Action Research: Knowledge processes occurring in different spaces outside of mainstream institutions 22. Urban and rural women building economic solidarity between the city and the countryside: a political agroecological approach to food security 343

People's Knowledge and Participatory Action Research offers a radical exploration of the deep knowledge held within communities under siege by neoliberalism and traditional forms of science; the dedicated refusal to surrender this knowledge to the hegemonic gaze of "experts", grip of white supremacy or bribes of corporate interests, and the joy and delicacies of engaging in participatory research for justice. A must-read for community-based researchers and even more so for academics deluded by fantasies of expertise. Congratulations!'
