This volume reproduces key historical texts concerning `colonial
knowledges'. The use of the adjective 'colonial' indicates that
knowledge is shaped by power relationships, while the use of the
plural form, 'knowledges' indicates the emphasis in this collection
is on an interplay between different, often competing, cognitive
systems. George Balandier's notion of the colonial situation is an
organising principle that runs throughout the volume, and there are
four sub-themes: language and texts, categorical knowledge, the
circulation of knowledge and indigenous knowledge. The volume is
designed to introduce students to a range of important
interventions which speak to each other today, even if they were
not intended to do so when first published. An introductory essay
links the themes together and explains the significance of the
individual articles.
