This influential book challenges one of the most pervasive and powerful beliefs of our time--that Europe rose to modernity and world dominance due to unique qualities of race, environment, culture, mind, or spirit, and that progress for the rest of the world resulted from the diffusion of European civilization. J. M. Blaut persuasively argues that this doctrine is not grounded in the facts of history and geography, but in the ideology of colonialism. Blaut traces the colonizer's model of the world from its 16th-century origins to its present form in theories of economic development, modernization, and new world order.

Vendeur : World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, Etats-Unis
Paperback. Etat : Good. The book first defines the Eurocentric diffusionist model of the world as one that invents a permanent world core, an Inside, in which cul tural evolution is natural and continuous, and a permanent periphery, and Outside, in which cultural evolution is mainly an effect of the diffusion of ideas, commodities, settlers, and political control from the core. The ethnohistory of the doctrine is traced from its 16th-cen tury origins, through its efflorescence in the period of classical col onialism, to its present form in theories of economic development, mod ernization, and new world order. Blaut demonstrates that most Western scholarship is to some extent diffusionist and based implicitly in t he idea that the world has one permanent center from which culture-cha nging ideas tend to emanate. Eurocentric diffusionism has shaped our a ttitudes concerning race and the environment, psychology and society, technology and politics. N° de réf. du vendeur CIN0898623480G
