Marta Iñiguez de Heredia and Zubairu Wai, Recentering Africa in International Relations: Beyond Lack, Peripherality, and Failure

As a system of knowledge production, Eurocentrism establishes Europe as the key referential figure in world history, from which all non-Western experiences and events are derived and subsequently hierarchized in their temporal and political significance.
