There is a change happening in the practice of applied anthropology. A new field of ‘indigenous knowledge’ is emerging which aims to make local voices
heard and ensure that development initiatives meet the needs of ordinary people. Indigenous knowledge, an aspect of participatory approaches to development, offers an alternative to schemes and strategies that are imposed on lesser developed countries by international agencies and state organizations.
The philosophy behind the indigenous knowledge initiative is straightforward. It is based on the belief that effective assistance will benefit from some understanding of local knowledge and practices, by promoting culturally appropriate and sustainable interventions.
Achieving the aims of indigenous knowledge presents significant challenges. Development and Local Knowledge focuses on two major issues that might be
addressed by anthropology: first, the proper definition of indigenous knowledge – what is it, who should define it and what are the implications, particularly
political, of any definition? second, the advancement of methodologies appropriate to the exploitation of indigenous knowledge – how can development access it sympathetically, who should control its use and how? While accepting that working with local knowledge is never easy, the authors offer ways of advancing the relationship between local knowledge and development, and of furthering anthropology’s key role in development processes.
