Introduction to the third edition -- Introduction -- Imperialism, history, writing and theory -- Research through imperial eyes -- Colonizing knowledges -- Research adventures on indigenous lands -- Notes from down under -- The indigenous peoples' project: setting a new agenda -- Articulating an indigenous research agenda -- Twenty-five indigenous projects -- Twenty further indigenous projects -- Responding to the imperatives of an indigenous agenda: a case study of Māori -- Towards developing indigenous methodologies: Kaupapa Māori research -- Choosing the margins: the role of research in indigenous struggles for social justice -- Getting the story right, telling the story well: indigenous activism, indigenous research -- Reflections.
Summary: To the colonised, 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 decolonisation of research methods will help to reclaim control over indigenous ways of knowing and being. Now in its eagerly awaited third edition, this work includes a co-written introduction with contributions from indigenous scholars on the book's continued relevance to current research. It also features a chapter with 25 indigenous projects and a collection of poetry.
