We asked our community: what’s an underrated book from your academic studies that deserves more attention?

Former RITM Graduate Fellow Jorge Bañuelos reflects on “Social Science as Imperialism: The Theory of Political Development” by Claude Ake. The book challenges the assumed neutrality of social science, offering a critical lens on how academic frameworks can reproduce imperialist logics while pointing toward alternative ways of thinking and studying power.

Swipe to read his reflection and learn more about the text.
