About the Book: Knowledge and Power: A Discourse for Transformation
In Knowledge and Power, Braj Ranjan Mani tries to comprehend the formation of a
world with one million millionaires and one billion hungry children, and asks
what went wrong: why do we in the twenty-first century continue to grapple with
large-scale injustice, even as knowledge grows to dizzying heights with
technology and democracy to disseminate it? Critiquing existing knowledge,
power, and social relationships, he renews the debate on fundamental issues and
points to the way for a perspective that can enable the reader to ask the right
questions and seek answers outside the old and failed frameworks.
