This influential work examines the deep entanglement of research with imperialism, showing how academic disciplines have historically functioned as regimes of truth rooted in colonial power. It argues that decolonizing research methods is essential for reclaiming Indigenous ways of knowing and being, challenging notions of discovery and ownership. Written by Linda Tuhiwai Smith, an Indigenous scholar from Aotearoa New Zealand, it has become a landmark text in Indigenous research methodologies.
