Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples / Linda Tuhiwai Smith (1999)

Titre : Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Auteur Editeur : Londres : Zed Books Année de publication : 1999 Importance : 239 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-84813-950-3 Langues : Anglais Résumé : To the colonized, the term 'research' is conflated with European colonialism; the ways in which academic research has been implicated in the throes of imperialism remains a painful memory. This essential volume explores intersections of imperialism and research - specifically, the ways in which imperialism is embedded in disciplines of knowledge and tradition 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. Now in its eagerly awaited second edition, this bestselling book has been substantially revised, with new case-studies and examples and important additions on new indigenous literature, the role of research in indigenous struggles for social justice, which brings this essential volume urgently up-to-date.

Ebola: How a People's Science Helped End an Epidemic / Paul Richards (2016)

Titre : Ebola: How a People's Science Helped End an Epidemic Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Paul Richards, Auteur Editeur : Londres : Zed Books Année de publication : 2016 Importance : 175 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-78360-858-4 Langues : Français Résumé : From December 2013, the largest Ebola outbreak in history swept across West Africa, claiming thousands of lives in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. By the middle of 2014, the international community was gripped by hysteria. Experts grimly predicted that millions would be infected within months, and a huge international control effort was mounted to contain the virus. Yet paradoxically, by this point the disease was already going into decline in Africa itself. So why did outside observers get it so wrong? Paul Richards draws on his extensive first-hand experience in Sierra Leone to argue that the international community's panicky response failed to take account of local expertise and common sense. Crucially, Richards shows that the humanitarian response to the disease was most effective in those areas where it supported these initiatives and that it hampered recovery when it ignored or disregarded local knowledge.
