AO. Extractive logics

Biruk highlights that the demographic surveys she studies "raise the specter of the exploitation, extractive logics, racism, and ethnocentrism that have underlain science in Africa," (22). Citing Riedmann (1993) she highlights that global demography presumes a "right to invade" in the name of knowledge production. She seems to be suggesting here that the colonial logics of science continue to pervade.
