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. Accordingly, it interrogates the relationship between knowledge, race and power at the heart of debates on the making and circulation of history, opening up a tension, not so much with other histories, but with Eurocentrism’s formulas of self-assurance, and attempts to accommodate other narratives. The book is an interdisciplinary endeavor that engages with diverse political and academic contexts and debates that reveal understandings of coloniality/modernity, specifically in education. Education, and in particular history teaching, is approached as a key arena in which to explore the (re)configuration of broader political and academic discourses and silences on power and race. Moving beyond discussions on national identity and the multicultural curriculum, it critically examines textbooks in Portugal and the discussions raised during empirical research with actors from a wide variety of fields, such as academia, policy and decision-making, schooling and the media. These are addressed in relation to the international context that saw the consolidation of global and regional organizations—such as UNESCO and the Council of Europe—which established scientific knowledge as a key solution to political conflicts (conventionally defined as exacerbated nationalism, ethnocentrism and cultural misunderstandings). Central to these discussions are the ideas of multiperspectivity and the inclusion of content about the ‘other’, which are addressed in detail through a case study on depictions of the African national liberation movements. This book aims to contribute 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-centering the West/Europe.

The westernized university is a site where the production of knowledge is embedded in Eurocentric epistemologies that are posited as objective, disembodied and universal and in which non-Eurocentric knowledges, such as black and indigenous ones, are largely marginalized or dismissed. Consequently, it is an institution that produces racism, sexism and epistemic violence. While this is increasingly being challenged by student activists and some faculty, the westernized university continues to engage in diversity and internationalization initiatives that reproduce structural disadvantages and to work within neoliberal agendas that are incompatible with decolonization. This book draws on decolonial theory to explore the ways in which Eurocentrism in the westernized university is both reproduced and unsettled. It outlines some of the challenges that accompany the decolonization of teaching, learning, research and policy, as well as providing examples of successful decolonial moments and processes. It draws on examples from universities in Europe, New Zealand and the Americas. This book represents a highly timely contribution from both early career and established thinkers in the field. Its themes will be of interest to student activists and to academics and scholars who are seeking to decolonize their research and teaching. It constitutes a decolonizing intervention into the crisis in which the westernized university finds itself.

This anthology demonstrates the longstanding, multifarious, and major role that race has played in the formation of knowledge. The authors demonstrate how race theory intersects with other bodies of knowledge by examining discursive records such as travelogues, literature, and historiography; theoretical structures such as common sense, pseudoscientific racism, and Eurocentrism; social structures of class, advancement, and identity; and politico-economic structures of capitalism, colonialism, and law.

Seminar paper from the year 2022 in the subject History - Miscellaneous, grade: 2,7, University of Wuppertal, course: Globale Ideen- und Diskursgeschichte, language: English, abstract: This paper aims at explaining the origins of a belief in Western supremacy and the development and aftermaths of a Eurocentric intellectual history that has cut out the representation of non-western countries for an immense period of time. The underlying thesis goes as follows: Western supremacy prevents a Global Intellectual History in terms of an imperialist and racist attitude towards non-Western cultures. The belief in western supremacy has enshrined in tradition for endless centuries, especially when considering its origin within the Colonial Era and the ongoing dragging evolution that has not found a pleasing outcome ever since. Yet recent protests and intellectual movements have proven that our modern multicultural society is not accepting these colonialist ideologies for any longer: The Black Lives Matter movement, for example, has evoked empathy for the life of black citizens in the West, who are experiencing not only injustice but violence, due to their origin, religion and skin tone. Unfortunately, the mistaken conviction that being a citizen of a superior nation has continued to exist in the western world; Europe’s rise of political right-wing parties demonstrates a world view which aspires to be a western one only. Thus, the political situation inside Europe, especially the refugee policy, has created resentment against a multicultural society. Moreover, the resurgence of anti-immigrant and nationalist sentiment depict the renewed urgency of non-Western intellectuals within minority positions and multicultural backgrounds. Their works challenge the idea of a home-grown, national, even colonialist literary and philosophy tradition inside the Western World. In other words, the idea of an international globalized history helps us, in order to gain transnational understanding of contemporary problems, including racial equality, poverty and cultural rights. In detail, they allow a representation that differs respectively from a Eurocentric point of view.

Coloniality and Racial (In)Justice in the University examines the disruption and remaking of the university at a moment in history when white supremacist politics have erupted across North America, as have anti-racist and anti-colonial movements. Situating the university at the heart of these momentous developments, this collection debunks the popular claim that the university is well on its way to overcoming its histories of racial exclusion. Written by faculty and students located at various levels within the institutional hierarchy, this book demonstrates how the shadows of settler colonialism and racial division are reiterated in "newer" neoliberal practices. Drawing on critical race and Indigenous theory, the chapters challenge Eurocentric knowledge, institutional whiteness, and structural discrimination that are the bedrock of the institution. The authors also analyse their own experiences to show how Indigenous dispossession, racial violence, administrative prejudice, and imperialist militarization shape classroom interactions within the university.
