منهجيات إنهاء الاستعمار: البحث والشعوب الأصلية (Decolonizing Methodologies)

مقدمة

Tuhiwai Smith published the book in 1999 with Zed Books in London and the University of Otago Press in Dunedin; revised editions followed in 2012 and 2021. The first part analyses how imperialism and research went together: travellers, missionaries and scientists described, measured and collected Indigenous peoples, and the knowledge they produced gave the West what Tuhiwai Smith, following Edward Said, calls a “positional superiority” that still frames how these peoples are seen. The second part sets out an Indigenous research agenda: research by and for Indigenous communities, guided by their questions and values, as in Kaupapa Māori research. A chapter on twenty-five Indigenous projects – from claiming and testimony to revitalising languages and reframing problems – shows its range. The book is widely cited in Indigenous studies and qualitative research and has been translated into several languages.
