The impact of the era of Enlightenment and the violent expansion of central Europe to the rest of the world is not past. It exists in the present. Executed with brute force and immense human costs culminating in genocidal forms of elimination on the side of those forced under a regime of so-called development having its roots in the European (un)civilising mission. These were barbaric acts for the benefit of the perpetrators, with lasting consequences of destruction of indigenous forms of social reproduction. They left not only scars and festering wounds, but also a legacy. It is a challenge for solidarity as engagement advocating global emancipatory transformation on the way to decoloniality and justice. Such task must be an obligation to explore what “Development” should be about. Its dominant meaning since the mid-twentieth century has hardly been replaced by non-hegemonic counter narratives. Shared histories are rarely presented as such. Scholars fail to adequately counteract the inadequate and inaccurate omissions and silences. This chapter reflects on the linkage between knowledge production and development, with a cautious word on the pitfalls of a universalist reproduction of Eurocentric perspectives.
