Summary
Marie Kawthar Daouda, author of Not Your Victim: How our Obsession with Race Entraps and Divides Us , speaks to EI’s Alastair Benn about the historical illiteracy of attempts to ‘decolonise’ Western culture. Instead, she argues that the moral complexities of history must be accepted in order to develop a genuine appreciation of the Western tradition.
