- This book is the product of rich, long term research in Ecuador, conducted over several years, including an ESRC-funded research grant. Ethnographic evidence is drawn from numerous visits to Ecuador, which involved workshops, focus groups and interviews and extensive, detailed and complex fieldwork with Kichwa women. The book offers a substantial critique of postcolonial development policy, in its failure to respond to specificities of difference in attempting to include indigenous women’s voices in the design of policies directed to improve their own lives.
