I suspect that Peter Day can give you a (possibly slightly biased ;-) reivew of the book.

I certainly think I should get myself a copy and get a copy for the library at SHU.

>Researching with Communities: Grounded perspectives on 
>engaging communities in research Edited by Andy Williamson and 
>Ruth DeSouza
>
>Researching with communities presents a range of personal and 
>grounded perspectives from academics, researchers and 
>practitioners on undertaking research in ways that promote and 
>privilege the voice of the community, is respectful of local 
>or indigenous practices and is culturally safe. 
>
>Most definitely not a 'tick list' for approaching 
>community-inclusive research, this book provides grounded 
>exemplars, guides and discussion about the experiences of 
>doing research respectfully and inclusively. It does this by 
>drawing on the perspectives of researchers and community 
>practitioners and by providing a range of reflective chapters 
>that explore what community-based research means in a range of 
>settings and for a range of people. Like the communities in 
>which they are grounded, undertaking research in this way is 
>always a unique experience. 
>
>This book is a valuable resource for researchers, evaluators, 
>students, community practitioners and policy makers. The 
>international authors cover disciplines from community ICT to 
>health and refugee and asylum seekers to community development.
