Unthinking Eurocentrism, a seminal and award-winning work in postcolonial studies first published in 1994, explored Eurocentrism as an interlocking network of buried premises, embedded narratives, and submerged tropes that constituted a broadly shared epistemology within popular culture, film and the mass media.

The substantial new afterword in this 20th anniversary second edition brings these issues into the present by charting recent transformations of the intellectual debates, and explores recent cinematic trends such as "indigenous media" and "postcolonial adaptations" that have gained strength over the past two decades.
