What knowledge has been excluded from institutions?
Oyěwùmí and Cusicanqui question the categories through which knowledge is recognised. Ayrton's scientific work offers a different institutional history. The comparison asks what admission, authority and credit depend on, without claiming the same exclusion operated in each case.
Matria compares these works with this question. The authors are not speaking about this reader. Passage verification is pending.
