Indigenous Concepts: A Problem for Social and Information Science.
Riggs, Fred W.
International Social Science Journal, v39 n4 p607-17 Nov 1987
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)
