academic research has been implicated in the throes of imperialism remains a painful memory.

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

of knowing and being. Now in its eagerly awaited third edition this bestselling book includes
