| description | Provides a historical & comparative examination of autocentrism. A framework is developed to present ideologies of group differences, where a group is defined by ethnicity, class, lineage, race, or gender. Thus, various markers used to define group differences are articulated. Sources of autocentrism are discerned, highlighting whether asymmetric relationships are likely to deepen autocentrism. Attention turns to how the historical Hellenic, Islamic, medieval & modern European, & Sinic civilizations have expressed their differences to differentiate themselves from groups equal to or weaker than them. It is argued that stronger groups in asymmetric relationships are likely to adopt autocentric constructs toward weaker groups. The exceptional behavior of Europeans (Westerners) to turn to race as a point of superiority is noted, suggesting that the roots of European racism are older than capitalism. 24 References. J.
