{"product_id":"decolonizing-knowledge-frzsdzsrique-apffel-marglin-9780198288848","title":"Decolonizing Knowledge: From Development to Dialogue","description":"Development failures, environmental degradation and social fragmentation can no longer be regarded as \"side effects.\" They are the toxic consequences of pretensions that the modern Western view of knowledge is a universal neutral view, applicable to all people at all times. This work argues that the linear evolutionary paradigm of development emerging from the modern Western view of knowledge is a contemporary form of colonialism. The work proposes a pluralistic vision and a decolonization of knowledge: the replacement of one-way transfers of knowledge and technology by dialogue and mutual learning. It will be of interest to scholars of development studies, sociology, and anthropology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frédérique Apffel-Marglin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198288840\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198288848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Clarendon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.94d","brand":"Frédérique Apffel-Marglin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46311010926847,"sku":"9780198288848","price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89ddc90a-f5ac-4b97-a94f-8ed55b7fd659.jpg?v=1730887854","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/decolonizing-knowledge-frzsdzsrique-apffel-marglin-9780198288848","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
