Challenging the prevailing narratives in social sciences, this book critiques how indigenous knowledge is often labeled as 'alternative,' equating it with the misleading constructs of neoconservative ideologies. It highlights the misuse of such knowledge by governments to foster racism and misogyny, while advocating for the voices of marginalized groups—women, migrants, and minorities—to be recognized and mainstreamed. By emphasizing the importance of these narratives, the author underscores their potential to reveal deeper truths about the social realities shaped by globalization.
