Eurocentric Historical Narrative

A Eurocentric historical narrative is a way of telling history that centers Europe and Western countries as the main focus, often highlighting their perspectives, achievements, and events. This approach can overlook or minimize the experiences, contributions, and histories of other regions, such as Africa, Asia, and Indigenous peoples. While it can provide valuable insights into European history, it risks presenting a skewed, incomplete picture of global history by treating Western developments as the norm or most important. Recognizing Eurocentrism encourages a more inclusive, accurate understanding of the diverse stories that shape the world.
