Decolonizing Tech - Bibliography: 2020-

This is an open-ended bibliography, intended originally to accompany a developing series....

It follows the Morality & Listening appendix Bibliography, a list accounting for a stretch of reading from 2015 to 2020. (Some comments on that page and/or from that project might serve to clarify the intended purpose of these bibliographies in general.... I also won't be duplicating entries, so in that sense, it's a cumulative bibliography for all of these writing projects.)

As that bibliography eventually was, the present listing will be chronological by when I read something. Whether it might come to include further remarks or even reviews is unknown at the present time....
