Abstract:

Offers both a guide in restorative narrative methods for use with
marginalised and exploited groups, and examples of what successful,
guided work can look like in practice.
This book is a groundbreaking introduction to restorative
intercultural practices. It explores the understanding of the
narration and positionality of the researcher in a more-than-human
world. Following a collaborative, call and response structure, the
book explores how Indigenous people and refugees can lead the
development of research methods in social scientific research.
It shows how practices from ‘back home’ and ‘on the land’ might be
taught to researchers for ethical and consensual use. Beginning with
the practices of the daré from Southern Africa and pepeha from
Aotearoa New Zealand it offers a fresh discourse of restorative
narrative research methodology. Above all it is an insight into how
innovative academic work can develop from a context that prioritises
collaboration, care and a holistic approach to humans and their
experiences.
