For twenty years, the renowned philosopher of science Sandra Harding has argued that science and technology studies, postcolonial studies, and feminist critique must inform one another. In The Postcolonial Science and Technology Studies Reader, Harding puts those fields in critical conversation, assembling the anthology that she has long wanted for classroom use. In classic and recent essays, international scholars from a range of disciplines think through a broad array of science and technology philosophies and practices. The contributors reevaluate conventional accounts of the Wests scientific and technological projects in the past and present, rethink the strengths and limitations of nonWestern societies knowledge traditions, and assess the legacies of colonialism and imperialism. The collection concludes with forwardlooking essays, which explore strategies for cultivating new visions of a multicultural, democratic world of sciences and for turning those visions into realities. Feminist science and technology concerns run throughout the reader and are the focus of several essays. Harding provides helpful background for each essay in her introductions to the readers four sections.ContributorsHelen AppletonKaren BckstrandLucille H. BrockwayStephen B.
