Indigenized Psychologies

- The ongoing development of indigenized psychologies illustrates the conditions for the development and transfer of traditions of understanding between different social and cultural contexts.

It is important to recognize the historical and cultural context of the origin of the indigenized psychologies, such as anti-colonial reactions, and to recognize their great diversity. The indigenized psychologies are still at an early stage of their development and their progress is to a large extent affected by limitations in material resources and lack of institutionalisation of academic culture. The relation of the indigenized psychologies to the concept of science is not clear but is not given much attention in the literature produced by, and on, the indigenized psychologies. (Less)
