"Decolonizing methodologies are about forcing us to confront the Western academic canon in its entirety, in its philosophy, pedagogy, ethics, organizational practices, paradigms, methodologies and discourses and, importantly, its self-generating arrogance, its origin mythologies and the stories that it tells to reinforce its hegemony". from Linda Tuhiwai Smith's Introduction to the Third Edition of Decolonizing Methodologies p. xii (2021)
