Salma Ismail is a Senior Lecturer at the Centre for Higher Education and Development at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. She convenes and teaches on the Adult Education programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
'This is an unusual book, rich on so many ways. Most PhD theses
start off with a theoretical framework and apply it to a case
study. This project reverses the process. Startled into looking
deeply into a local project by meeting one of its leaders, Salma
Ismail decided simply to find out what was going on and what that
'going on' will teach us. The project and the research came first,
the PhD later – and that seems to me to be a significant lesson for
those who seek to learn from development projects and social
movements.'
- Alan Rogers, Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International
Education
'The focus on the experience of women, and use of feminist theories
of pedagogy, is a welcome addition to the literature on informal
and movement learning, both within South Africa and beyond.'
- Anne Harley, Adult Education Quarterly
