  From an application context, "Weapons of Math Destruction" is a good place to start.

    Okay, but that's not relevant to mathematics. That's about business decisions.

      Aided and abetted by putting a veneer of mathematics over the top. That is the important context for the idea of decolonizing math - that it doesn't actually take place in a vacuum.
