The Postcolonial Science and Technology Studies Reader

The Postcolonial Science and Technology Studies Reader - Thryft
The Postcolonial Science and Technology Studies Reader - Thryft

Decolonizing science: a critical reader for all.

This book is a great read for anyone interested in science and technology studies, particularly from a postcolonial and feminist perspective. The essays in this book challenge conventional Western views of science and technology, and provide important insights on non-Western knowledge traditions. It is also a good resource for those interested in decolonizing science and working towards a more democratic and multicultural world of science.

Description

For twenty years, the renowned philosopher of science Sandra Harding has argued that science and technology studies, postcolonial studies, and feminist critique must inform one another. In The Postcolonial Science and Technology Studies Reader, Harding puts those fields in critical conversation, assembling the anthology that she has long wanted for classroom use. In classic and recent essays, international scholars from a range of disciplines think through a broad array of science and technology philosophies and practices. The contributors reevaluate conventional accounts of the West's scientific and technological projects in the past and present, rethink the strengths and limitations of non-Western societies' knowledge traditions, and assess the legacies of colonialism and imperialism. The collection concludes with forward-looking essays, which explore strategies for cultivating new visions of a multicultural, democratic world of sciences and for turning those visions into realities. Feminist science and technology concerns run throughout the reader and are the focus of several essays. Harding provides helpful background for each essay in her introductions to the reader's four sections. Contributors
