RE THIRD WORLD ISSUES IN GENERAL THE AGENDA
Why am I talking about such crazy things as outdated economic historians talking about problems of third world agriculture?
The reason is to begin to burst the bursting bubble presumption that it was merely Western Imperialism that held the Rest back singlehandedly, apart from other causes besides merely Western imperialism.
This is a theme Bairoch touches on in some works, and we will bring those passages forward, to show that it was not merely the overbearing Western white man who dominated the colored man of the Rest, but also the backwardness of the colored man and his civilization itself which had made such domination possible in the first place, and its causes in the culture and history of the colored races and civilizations themselves rather than in the West itself.
