Review :
Compelling and thought-provoking, this book makes an enormous contribution to the literature on community engaged scholarship and school–university partnerships. In particular, their collaborative approach to engaged scholarship is one I have seldom seen articulated so clearly and with so much authenticity."" –Janice McMillan, Director: UCT Global Citizenship programme

""The book opens up a space of frank discussion about the often unsettling, messy realities of ethical decision-making in the thick of social research. It is unique in spanning a range of research scenarios across different disciplines working in conditions of inequality."" –Judy Favish, Director: UCT Institutional Planning (2003–2016)
