Article-Summary: 

Sophie Bessis tells the story of the West's relationship with the world it came to dominate - from the conquest of the Americas, through the slave trade and the Scramble for Africa, the White Man's burden, Manifest Destiny and the growth of 'scientific' racism, to decolonisation, the ideology of development and structural adjustment.
