Eurocentrism  

Définition

  • Eurocentrism is associated with a philosophy that can become a foundational source of meaning through which individuals, groups, and nations from the continent (Europe) can develop attitudes based on emerging ideologies of racial, religious, cultural, or ethnic supremacy over the various indigenous people they encountered (Amin, 1989). Eurocentrism can be understood as the implicit view that societies and cultures of European origin constitute the “natural” norm for assessing what goes on throughout the rest of the world.
