An essential text that critically examines the basis of Western research, and the positioning of the indigenous as “Other.” A landmark in the process of decolonizing Western knowledge, this book explains why “research” has so many negative connotations among Indigenous communities. “This essential volume explores intersections of imperialism and research – specifically, the ways in which imperialism is embedded in disciplines of knowledge and traditions as ‘regimes of truth,’ Concepts such as ‘discovery’ and ‘claiming’ are discussed and an argument presented that the decolonization of research methods will help to reclaim control over indigenous ways of knowing and being.” An important read for postsecondary students and teachers, guiding the consideration of research about Indigenous realities.
