I have been looking through the sub trying to find an old post I read quite some time ago I believe it was wrote by u\sunagainstgold, but I may well be confused.

I will do my best to explain the general gist of the post but am going to struggle a bit; apologies.

The post was regarding historiography and the ....importance of the west in the narrative while overlooking events in other parts of the world/even a Eurocentric view of history

I seem to remember it was explaining why this occurs and how academia is "currently" changing this view.

This may be totally wrong but I thought the answer somehow involved challenging the view of everything the west does as of more importance than discoveries in other places of the world.

Again, I apologise for the vagueness of my question as it is based on partial memories and my searching skills are not returning anything at all.

This from the UN kind of touches upon what I am looking for however it was definitely a post her that I am after: Western historiography and the problem of Western history (J. G. A. Pocock)

The post I suspect probably more than just mentioned Edward Gibbon. I have looked through the posts of “Historians' views of Edward Gibbon's "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire"” But have not found what I am after.

If no-one knows of the post would they mind giving me information on the enlargement of the west in historiography?

If this post doesn’t meet the rules I am happy to report it in short answers to short questions.

Thanks
