"The Contours of Eurocentrism" - Marta Araújo & Silvia Rodríguez Maeso

Lexington Books | 2015


Abstract

This book proposes an approach to Eurocentrism as a paradigm of knowledge production and interpretation rooted in the Western narrative of modernity and its racial governmentalities. It contributes to the critique of the contemporary workings of Eurocentrism and racism that have frustrated the struggles for the decolonization of knowledge and continue to shape our understandings of the world order in racially hierarchical terms, by re-centring the West/Europe.
