Publisher's Synopsis

In this study, Claude Ake argues that the bulk of Western social science writings on the Third World amounts to imperialism. Through a rigorous analysis of these writings he shows that their scientific utility is marginal or worse, that their saliency lies in the manipulation of Third World peoples and that they contribute significantly to the perpetuation of dependence and underdevelopment.
