| Sumario: | The book "Democratising Participatory Research: Pathways to Social Justice from the South" by Carmen Martinez-Vargas explores the emergence and development of participatory research perspectives in the human and social sciences. The author discusses ethical, epistemic, and methodological questions related to research and pedagogical projects in social justice struggles. The book presents a pluralist understanding of participatory approaches, highlighting four families of participatory views: industrial, development, indigenous, and educational. The author proposes a new approach called Democratic Capabilities Research, which emphasizes social justice and democratisation as objectives of research and pedagogy. This book provides valuable insights and challenges for practitioners, educators, and researchers involved in participatory research projects.
