What is it about?
This special issue of the German-language journal "psychosozial" takes a look at how the discipline of psychology was enmeshed in the historical reality of the colonization of the world by Western powers. It illustrates how psychology participated in the project of colonization, as well as the lasting consequences this has for current debates and perspectives in the discipline.

Why is it important?
The topic is important because it points to historical, political, and economic aspects that have led to a hegemonic position of Western paradigms in international psychological research, but whose epistemological consequences are rarely discussed.
