How have dominant white and liberal discourses maintained their hegemony in a post-colonial world? This book offers a significant and original contribution to critical race theory. Georgina Wemyss offers an anthropological account of the cultural hegemony of the West, demonstrating how concepts of tolerance have been substantially reproduced through time, though subtly shifting in order to accommodate the challenges of history
