{"product_id":"9780198288848","title":"Decolonizing Knowledge: From Development to Dialogue","description":"\u003cp\u003eDevelopment 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\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47007246450928,"sku":"9780198288848","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780198288848_p0.jpg?v=1763666534","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780198288848","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
