Accounts of non-Western science and technology studies (STS) have proliferated in recent years. It was, however, not until Sandra Harding assembled this collection that students and researchers could turn to a single volume to acquire a good grasp of the intersection of STS and postcolonial theory. In The Postcolonial Science and Technology Studies Reader, the feminist editor, known for her "strong-objectivity" approach, suggests how a single framework could embrace the variety found in "worlds of science." The twenty-five classic essays in this volume, drawn from diverse disciplines over the past two decades, contrast the heterogeneous approaches to science found outside the globe's dominant states to the Wester science that currently (and problematically) predominates.
