The Challenge of Eurocentrism : Global Perspectives, Policy, and Prospects

Eurocentrism is the current object of a global critique, which has the potential to be as significant as Marxist and Feminist critiques have been. This critique focuses on and dissects the paradigms that have emanated from the European Enlightenment. This set of papers represents the very first set of theoretical appraisals of the project by some of the world’s leading researchers in the area. "An exciting collection of papers on the distortions of Eurocentric analyses, one that points the way forward to more truly universalistic structures of knowledge." - Immanuel Wallerstein, Senior Research Scholar, Yale University
