The edited volume Critical ICT4D highlights the need for a paradigm change in theorising, designing, and researching Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D). Engaging authors from the Majority World and entering a process of restoring epistemic justice in knowledge production and ownership, the text:
- Reflects on the histories and narratives around development programmes, their deep-rooted socio-political background, and the power relations integrated into or induced by such measures
- Problematises the current scholarship and practices through decolonial and pluralistic approaches built with an explicit perspective of resisting epistemic violence
- Constructs justice-enacting engagements of technologies with society.
