TLDR
For example, this article pointed out that most of our theoretical categories and guides to development policy have been distilled exclusively from the historical experience of the European and North American advanced capitalist nations, and that most historians study only the developed metropolitan countries and pay scant attention to the colonial and underdeveloped lands.Abstract:
We cannot hope to formulate adequate development theory and policy for the majority of the world's population who suffer from underdevelopment without first learning how their past economic and social history gave rise to their present underdevelopment. Yet most historians study only the developed metropolitan countries and pay scant attention to the colonial and underdeveloped lands. For this reason most of our theoretical categories and guides to development policy have been distilled exclusively from the historical experience of the European and North American advanced capitalist nations.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website.read more

Redeeming the universal: Postcolonialism and the inner life of Eurocentrism:
TL;DR: The authors argue that homogeneity is not an intrinsic quality of the concept of the universal, but a result of its specifically internalist mode of construction Supplanting Eurocentrism therefore requires an explicit theoretical incorporation of universal But one which is fundamentally rethought away from being an immanent self-transcendence of the particular, and re- comprehended as a radical amenability to, and constitutiveness of, alterity.
