How science is corrupted by the anti white racists

If you want it to be so just write a paper for a left wing ideologically driven journal. There is simply no evidence that anyone in Jamaica used the process described. There was no industrial revolution in Jamaica. 

The worse part the explanation given below. When your goal is pushing racial superiority science goes in the dumpster.




Historiographic significance and historical meaning

We see Bulstrode’s article as based in a large literature supporting her decentering of white actors in formative technological developments of the early British industrial era. For example, in the past 35 years or so, a broad reshaping of colonial-era European history has created a new outlook on the historical movements of goods, peoples and knowledges perpetrated through trans-national projects of conquest and wealth accumulation. These studies have problematized the concepts of modernization and industrialization to help show the close ties between these aims and colonizers’ assertions of geopolitical, racial, and religious supremacy – assertions which have served to render historically invisible many activities of subjugated peoples. Over roughly the past 15 years, historians have carried this problematization into many particulars of technological and infrastructural change in colonial and post-colonial eras. Historical accounts of indigenous and other knowledge systems marginalized in colonial settings have made clear just how narrowly EuroAmerican historiographic legacies have defined both meaningful human understandings of nature and materialities (so-named science and technology) and historical impacts of these understandings.Footnote10

Within the field of History of Technology itself, we have now seen at least four decades of concerted work on Black, Brown and indigenous technological efficacy under regimes of settlement, enslavement and indenture.Footnote11 With a broadened rubric that includes agricultural, healing, design and other knowledge applications, historians have newly identified ‘technological contributions’ from enslaved and indentured people globally. In collaboration with scholars from the fields of Africana-, Caribbean-, Latinx- and South Asian Studies, historians of science and technology have developed a complex literature regarding the material and environmental conditions, language, and cultural practices of subjugated communities to bring a widened lens on technological activity.
