Full description for Decolonizing Methodologies
transformed". In the first part of the book, the author critically examines the historical and philosophical base of western research. Extending the work of Foucault, she explores the intersections of imperialism, knowledge and research. The second part of the book meets the urgent need for literature which validates various frustrations with various western paradigms, academic traditions and methodologies. In setting an agenda for planning and implementing indigenous research, the author shows how such programmes are part of the wider project of reclaiming control over indigenous ways of knowing and being.
