"Can education through participatory research be transformative? This highly engaging and accessible book wrestles with the question by documenting how those traditionally researched (youth in the US and Bangladesh) became participatory researchers, built an international NGO to address global environmental concerns, and became leaders and activists along the way." -- Leda Cooks, Professor & Graduate Program Director, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, USA
"Fadia Hasan tackles big problems in a big way. This multi-faceted and subtle démasqué of the architecture of participation in the case of the BGreen Project is a must read for both environmental activists and academics." Jan Servaes, Professor Emeritus
"Fadia Hasan provides an innovative comparative assessment of emerging transnational networks for social change involving youth organizations, academia, State, and the corporate sector As the Global North and its surrogates in the South continue to advance an environmental and economic order that is not sustainable, Hasans task as an engaged researcher is to empower marginalized voices so that they are acknowledged in policy circles [ She] interrogate[ s] the viability of paternalistic, market driven Bangladeshi and U.S. educational systems by confronting long established hierarchies of knowledge and exclusionary political practices. I expect this text will contribute to this line of scholarship, and do so with a great deal of insight." -- Henry Geddes, Associate Professor, University of Massachusetts at Amherst, USA
