Abstract: Abstract In Part I of the book, we set out our domain of interrogation and specified the contours of its topography. We sought to explicate the current location of that domain in terms of its contextual, quantitative and qualitative parochialisms. In these respects, we identified and critiqued the limited and limiting paradigmatic location of most ICCM research, the hegemonic practices and institutional structure by which its orthodoxy is sustained, and the resultant commitments and omissions. In the second part of the book, we examined the historical conditions in which science, anthropology and colonial commerce, key knowledge systems and material practices for the later development of ICCM, emerged. Our examination revealed the foundational significance of the colonial encounter, and thus the colonial legacies of ICCM as a modernist project, as well as the future configurations of these knowledge systems and material practices in the post-World War Two discourses of modernization, industrialization, development and globalization.
