Australia was part of the British Empire and at school I was taught a fairly Britain-centric and Eurocentric view of the world. |
The result was a Eurocentric view of world history in which Africans had no part. |
When I got to Union in New York, the culture was elitist, Eurocentric, competitive and individualistic. |
History at school had been taught from a Eurocentric perspective, focusing on colonisation or slavery in Africa. |
The last have been favored in histories of world Jewry, and for too long those histories have been skewed by their Eurocentric view. |
Conventional historians will find the unashamedly Eurocentric view disturbing, and will judge the author's use of evidence rather cavalier. |
