Unthinking Epistemicide

This book argues that the cause of social and political inequalities is above all the dominance of non-Western worldviews. Developing a critical theory and praxis for undoing epistemicide, this book develops the claim that worldviews are necessarily plural as each way of looking at the world reflects a particular perspective on the world.
