| SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | "The edited volume Critical ICT4D highlights the need for a paradigm change in theorising, designing and researching Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D). Engaging authors from the Global South, entering a process of restoring epistemic justice in knowledge production and ownership the text: - Reflects on the histories and narratives around development programmes, their deep-rooted socio-political background, and the power relations integrated into or induced by such measures; - Problematises the current scholarship and practices through decolonial and pluralistic approaches built with an explicit perspective of resisting epistemic violence; and - Constructs justice-enacting engagements of technologies with society. Offering thematic discussions in many development sectors with up-to-date case studies informed by recent research in the field, it sheds light on constructive contributions of critical ICT4D research. Written in an accessible language, the book will appeal to postgraduate students, fellow researchers, policymakers in the fields of sociology, development studies, STS, critical data studies, surveillance studies, international relations, public administration, and information systems"-- |
