Abstract | States that the basic weakness of contemporary "Western-born" social science, as applied to the study of developing nations, is its ethnocentrism. Discusses the need to reinforce the indigenous character of the social sciences. Presents the INTERCOCTA Encyclopedia as a way of establishing a more indigenous social science within various societies of developing nations. (GEA) |
