Decolonizing Knowledge: From Development to Dialogue - WIDER Studies in Development Economics
Fred Apffel-marglin
This book argues that the linear evolutionary paradigm of development that comes out of the modern Western view of knowledge is a contemporary form of colonialism. The authors propose a pluralistic vision and a decolonization of knowledge; the replacement of one-way transfers of knowledge and technology by dialogue and mutual learning.
