Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples by Linda Tuhiwai Smith
To the colonized, the term 'research' is conflated with European colonialism. This volume explores intersections of imperialism and research - 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.
