This book raises awareness of Eurocentrism's enormous impact and
shows how, over the course of five centuries, Eurocentrism has
extended its power across the globe. In the twenty-first century,
Eurocentrism's hegemony remains powerful. By exploring a wide range
of sources including Eurocentric maps and images, historiography,
and Rudyard Kipling's White Man's Burden, Wintle uncovers
Eurocentrism's gradual evolution and reveals the ways in which it
functions at both seen and unseen levels. Taking a thematic and
then empirical approach, Eurocentrism offers a detailed and
comprehensive discussion of Eurocentrism's problems and dangers,
pays special attention to the work of Samir Amin and James Blaut
and applies notions garnered in the book to discuss Eurocentrism
within the context of the twenty-first-century European Union. This
study questions Eurocentrism's function, its history, and its
importance, providing a fresh insight into one of the world's most
complex and powerful cultural phenomena. With its multi- and
interdisciplinary analysis, this book is an indispensable tool for
both scholars and students concerned with modern history, politics,
visual culture and political geography.
