"A nicely weaved body knowledge volume, advancing critical debates on what knowledge counts and contested epistemic approaches while underscoring the contradictions of academic freedom and scholars at risk. Illustrates dynamism in epistemics, positionalities, nationalities, centring researcher voices and complexities transcending knowledge frontiers." Shuaib Lwasa, Professor, International Institute of Social Studies, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Netherlands. "A compelling and timely volume that powerfully foregrounds Global South scholars’ lived experiences, this book rethinks fieldwork, positionality, and knowledge production as deeply political and relational practices. It is an essential contribution to debates on epistemic justice and decolonial research methodologies."Lakshmi Priya Rajendran, Associate Professor, The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London, United Kingdom."This book is a timely, much needed, well argued and cogent set of analysis and reflections on the creation of knowledge itself. In a time of severe misinformation, continued colonial domination of ‘truth’ and manipulated narrations of self and other, this is a strategic initiative, and a must-read for our shared humanity."Azza Karam, Professor, Director of Kahane UN Program, Occidental College, United States."With honest and sharp first-hand accounts of scholars from the majority world, this book shows that ethical research is anything but institutional compliance. Highly recommended for anyone involved in knowledge production, directly or indirectly."Zeynep Kaşlı, Assistant Professor, International Institute of Social Studies, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Netherlands."This in-depth work by a group of distinguished young scholars and academics presents a new dynamic of engagement, contribution and responses to challenges in the field of development studies from the Global South perspective. This work provides a distinguished example and space for cooperation among young experts from different academic backgrounds, cultures and contexts. This work will serve a genuine reference for scholars across the globe in the field of development studies."Ibrahim Natil, Professor (Assoc), Council member of Development Studies Association- UK & Research Fellow of DCU Conflict Institute, Dublin City University, Ireland.
