Explores what the last few decades of European/American, feminist, and postcolonial science and technology studies can learn from each other. This book proposes new directions for thinking about objectivity, method, and reflexivity in light of the new understandings developed in the post-World War II world.

Makes the argument that the philosophy and practices of Western science, contrary to its enlightenment mission, work to insure that more science will only worsen the gaps between the best and worst off around the world.

A preeminent science studies scholar shows how feminist and postcolonial science studies challenge the problematic modernity versus tradition binary.
