Abstract
This paper reflects on the process of construction of an indigenous architectural history bypositing the differences between an architect-researcher�s point of view and the perceptions of theindigenous community being studied. I analyse the outcomes of participatory fieldwork engagements andthe production of my own narratives of architectural history to suggest that though they are rooted indifferent epistemological orbits, they are both inextricably linked to the dialogic process of fieldwork. Iargue that to recognise the role of villagers in these dialogues is to attribute them with a greater degree ofagency in processes of knowledge production.
