Summary
This paper contains our reflections and responses to a recent research project which sought to understand the meaning of anger in Indigenous Australian prisoners. Throughout this project the authors became increasingly aware of the essential ambiguities inherent in Indigenous research practice: the potential for our research to reproduce inequities and contribute to the colonisation of knowledge, the demands for academic accountability, the juxtaposition of world views and the central importance of difference. Our aim throughout this project has been to examine our responses to the process of indigenous research practice. This paper contains reflections that may assist others who might embark on indigenous qualitative research and those interested in theorizing the production of knowledge.
