Eurocentricism is Dead

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is being remade as a live action martial arts movie.

Okay, anybody remember this one particular Time-Life encyclopaedia set for kids? It had ten volumes out of which one was nothing but stories and all the stories were European folktales. Nothing from Native American myth, or Indian myth, or Persian myth, or any other myth. Everything was about billy goats and trolls and Black Forest witches and whatnot.

And now the European folktales are being given a Chinese spin to keep them fresh. I love it.

    Dr (Mrs) Pandey agrees! This Eastern antithetical simulacrum to the hitherto Eurocentric narrative has set up a socio-cultural dialectic of immense proportions.
