Summary

The Takeaway: Prescod-Weintein believes science need not be inextricably tied to commodification and colonialism. The discourse around “diversity, equity and inclusion” in science, technology, engineering and mathematics must be viewed as a reclamation project for people of color.

Euro-American imperialism and colonialism has had its (often unfortunate) moment with science. Prescod-Weinstein explains, “it’s time for the rest of us to reclaim our heritage for the sake of ourselves and the next seven generations.”

The author put together a list of readings that attempts to decolonise science.
