Aspects of Euro-Centric Thought: Racism, Sexism, Imperialism

This book does an impressive job of identifying some of the philosophical, historical, literary and artistic data of Western society which demonstrates the incontestable fact that racism is an intrinsic part of Western thought. The abuse of non-white peoples throughout the world was a predictable action on the part of white people who took their superiority as human beings as a given and the relative inferiority of non-white people as a divinely dictated certainty. The author demonstrates that all of the major Western religious systems are rooted in a set of philosophical and cultural traditions that have rendered even the religious systems themselves as tools of white supremacist doctrine and practice. The division of the world into two forces, good and evil, equating Black with evil and white with good, automatically allying the forces of good (God) with white and the forces of evil (devil) with black laid a philosophical and theological basis for structuring a world system of slavery, ethnocentric nationalism, sexism and human abuse unprecedented in the history of humanity.
