{"product_id":"decolonizing-knowledge-from-development-to-dialogue-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 Marglin Apffel-Marglin,World Institute for Development Economic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OUP Oxford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/25\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 406\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198288848\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45322520264819,"sku":"9780198288848","price":555.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_5ac4904c-63c2-4e2d-9aa3-707906a5ccab.jpg?v=1786020514","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/decolonizing-knowledge-from-development-to-dialogue-9780198288848","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
