ABSTRACT
Marginalisation refers to ‘the context in which those who routinely experience inequality, injustice, and exploitation live their lives’ (Brown and Strega 2005: 6). Further, marginalisation is indicative of experiences of injustice, inequality and exploitation, as well as lack of access to resources or power to create necessary change (Brown and Strega 2005). Examination of the issues requires a research process and methods that remain faithful to anti-oppressive practice and emphasise community involvement and ownership; where the end result of the process is not simply knowledge generation but a community response to a community issue (Potts and Brown 2005).
