Description
Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples by Linda Tuhiwai Smith explores the complex relationships between imperialism, research, and knowledge. The author argues that traditional research methods have been deeply embedded in colonialism, leading to the erasure of indigenous ways of knowing. This updated third edition includes a new introduction co-written with indigenous scholars, highlighting the book's continued relevance to contemporary research. It also features twenty-five indigenous projects and a collection of poetry, showcasing innovative approaches to decolonizing research methods. By reclaiming control over their own knowledge and traditions, indigenous peoples can work towards a more equitable and just research landscape. This book provides a crucial framework for understanding the intersections of imperialism and research, and its impact on marginalized communities.
