Academic Colonialism and the Crisis of Knowledge’s Production

Abstract

Academic colonialism or the knowledge subordination toward the west considered one of the most important European colonial strategies. The academic field, as the most important components of the cultural and civilizational awareness of peoples, considered the ideal entrance to the West's dominance over the East.

Therefore, the discourse of dialogue among civilizations, for example, was an unequal discourse between an economically, socially and politically crisis and a polarized West... erasing its identity and cultural traditions under the pretext of openness and progress... The result was a dependent East versus a subordinate West... and cultural Westernization as the most severe form of subordination to the West...  The dissolution and dissolve of the other by blurring the intellectual, cultural and even religious identity
