this paper is not good but hopefully their citations have something
there is a lot of “i feel this claim needs evidence but it is also obvious and widely‐recognized and has a whole school of literature about it so i just picked the top search result” going on here
for example, “indigenous and local communities were colonial subjects and victims [three random citations]”
one of the most baffling aspects of academic house style to me is the implicit presumption that the person reading your paper lacks the information literacy to research and validate the intellectual groundwork upon which you make your claims if you don¦t point them to a literal book on the subject first
“the Eurocentric worldview measures and validates things in reference to European values and paradigms [two citations]” thanks, buddy. i never would have guessed
@Lady I remember reading and enjoying his book when it came out ...
(and yes, after seeing you post about 90s legal studies papers, of course I had to go check your profile to see what you were reading!)
this one is enjoyable, at least
