註釋This is a critical analysis of the role played by the leading developing NGO in Kerala, India - the Kerala Sastra Sahitya Parishad (KSSP). One of the KSSP's most innovative activities has been proclaiming the relevance of science to villagers in its science and culture jathas. Its key concerns are conscientizing and empowering ordinary people; opposing those Indian Government policies that mistreat the poor; ecological sensitivity (as its central role in getting the Silent Valley Dam cancelled bears witness); efforts to involve women; and respect for indigenous cultures. The aim of the book is to improve understanding of indigenous cultures.
